These eight lit courts in a multi-use park with a rugged urban vibe are NOT FREE, but they are a good option for public tennis between Mid-City and Downtown.
I wrote about Poinsettia in my LA Times article about the 15 best courts for making friends in LA: “This is a full-service tennis center where you can play, get lessons and join a team, all while taking in the full range of human experience from tai chi to softball practice and beyond, all going on around you in an urban park.”
You can make reservations here.
