Where to Improve Your Tennis Game on the Paradise Coast

With stretches of sugar sand beaches and endless waves, it's tempting to spend all of your time in Naples along the seashore. However, avid tennis players know that the weather is just as beautiful off of the water. The Paradise Coast is a haven for outdoor recreation, and there are numerous places in Naples where you can improve your tennis game. Our REALTORS® encourage you to grab your racket and meet a few friends at one of these area parks and athletic centers.

1. Veterans Community Park — 1895 Veterans Park Dr., Naples, FL 34109
   As you settle into life in Naples, you'll join the many families that flock to Veterans Community Park. Conveniently located between Interstate 75 and US 41, this North Naples park is one of the most popular in Collier County. With separate amenities for adults, children, and even dogs, you can spend a full weekend exploring every exciting activity offered. For tennis lovers, there are four lit tennis courts so you can play from 8 am until 10 pm Monday through Saturday throughout the year.

2. East Naples Community Park — 3500 Thomasson Dr., Naples, FL 34112
   Just south of downtown Naples is the East Naples Community Park — also known as the home of the US Open Pickleball Championships.

This sprawling park with a serene exercise trail around the lake also features basketball and racquetball courts and fields for softball, baseball, football, and soccer.
