PLAYING IT SAFE – TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL The Glenview Park District outdoor tennis courts are open for play with a number of provisions to protect the safety of our customers, employees and our community. We believe tennis can be played at a safe physical distance outdoors and that it provides individuals an opportunity to exercise, appreciate nature, and promotes mental well-being. We are committed to safety and have a plan in place allowing players to play with as little contact as possible while adhering to the guidelines set forth by the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity. HOW THE EXPERIENCE IS CHANGED Play Limitations Courts will rotate on the hour. Back to back reservations are not permitted but you may continue to play if courts are still available and no one is waiting. Lessons Private and small group lessons can be taught by permitted tennis professionals only.
