Public tennis courts — South Bay & Peninsula

Redwood City leads with six public facilities and 14 verified courts; Menlo Park names five sites but publishes no court counts

A live-web scan on 2026-08-27 verified 14 named public tennis facilities across five cities in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, with 26 courts explicitly counted at 9 of them. Blank fields mean the source did not state a value — not that none exists — and the inventory is incomplete: several municipal sites did not expose searchable facility lists.

Method: verified-but-incomplete inventory of publicly usable government, special-district, college, or public-school tennis facilities in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, researched from live municipal web pages on 2026-08-27. 14 facility rows; 26 courts is the total across the 9 facilities whose count a source stated explicitly. Excludes private and member-only clubs, homes, and hotels. Blank cells mean the value was not resolved from the source page, not that it does not exist; several municipal sources did not expose facility details in searchable text, so this list is not exhaustive.
