Summer Tennis Program

Upper St. Clair maintains 10 tennis courts in the Municipal Park on McLaughlin Run Road. Permits and a tennis Photo I.D. are required for play on the Municipal Courts.

For those not wishing to purchase permits, neighborhood tennis courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis at Baker Park, Byrnwick Park, Hays Park, Johnston Park, and Trotwood Park. These neighborhood courts are not available on a permit basis and, except for Baker, do not have lights. Resident usage is first-come first-served. Occasionally, however, the Baker Courts may be reserved for tennis instruction.

Copies of the Rules and Regulations for the season are available at the Department of Recreation and Leisure Services or at the Municipal Tennis Courts. Registration for the Summer Tennis Program usually begins the first part of April.

Check the Spring/Summer Township Recreation Brochure for registration information and fees.
