All 8 courts are synthetic grass, and have been resurfaced within the last two years. The courts and playing conditions are excellent. There is a bar and lounge area and I imagine the venue is filled during season. If I were residing here on a longer-term basis, I would definitely join!!

Located in on the corner of Mt Eden Road and Mt Albert Road, Three Kings Park is situated next to…read morethe Three Kings Shopping Plaza. It is a venue for sports such as cricket, soccer (football) and athletics. There is a basketball hoop in the park, toilets and even tennis courts. The tennis courts are available for public use free of charge - except on certain mornings when the courts are reserved (see photo). Three ashphalt courts are available. If you're wanting a hit, make sure you bring your own tennis balls as there doesn't seem to be a sports shop nearby. While the few cheap stores in the plaza sell what look like tennis balls, one worker thankfully told me "don't use them to play tennis, they won't bounce." The park is used for community events also such as 'Music In Parks' - I saw some of Tim Finn's set there there last year (on the way home from doing my grocery shopping)!

I always feel kind of bad when I play tennis with friends, as the level of frustration increases with each ball I fail to hit back. Maungawhau is a very basic set of tennis courts - there are three, on concrete, with nets. If other people are waiting, playing time is limited to 20 minutes, but if no one is waiting you can play for as long as you want. The courts are open all hours, but lack public lighting for night time games. The school kids from Ficino Primary School also use the courts during lunchtime and recess, so you may find your game interrupted by a pack of smartly dressed kids.

This is a very well utilized tennis club with eight quality tennis courts and tidy clubroom…read more On a recent visit to the club we played the local women, coming out top on the day. Very friendly players all around and keen to see us looked after on their home ground. While waiting for team two to finish their game we sat on the upstairs covered deck where we had a birds-eye view of the courts. This tennis club has been around for a long time and the membership is strong. If you are a local and love tennis I'd recommend popping in if you've not already done so.
