Tennis and Pickleball courts in San Francisco

Love this place! The park we love. Haven’t checked out the pool yet but it does look really cool. The park is split into 2 sections to separate older and younger kids. Love it!!! Tennis courts. Rec center. Playground!! I feel people over look this place to often. Must keep this place open. ❤️❤️

The pickleball courts were nice with the resurfaced floor. Minus one star for two light fixtures not working on one side of the middle court. It was my first time there and I will go back. Parking is a big challenge, with meters only for 2 hrs.

Very clean, staff is very friendly, children playground,tennis court, basketball court,swimming pool, and more…

Great facilities that are never very crowded. This is a public facility with no door charge that has two well-maintained tennis courts with lights (which is rare in this city), an indoor pool, three indoor basketball courts (as well a couple hoops outside on asphalt), and a big grassy field. There's also a kids' playground. The indoor basketball games can be pretty competitive.

The Hamilton rec center is a fantastic facility that has most of what one would expect and then some. The full size indoor basketball court is particularly impressive. It's been drawn up from high-schools to pro, so you can practice your Steph curry shot with confidence. :) There are even roll out ping-pong tables. The multi-purpose room are great for kids parties or other get togethers. The playground is better than expected if you have kids. I also like how the playground has only two ingress/egress points on a straight path so you can easy monitor the little ones if they decide to go on a solo neighborhood exploration. Outdoor facilities are also good with basketball and tennis courts and a large green field where you can play soccer or other such sports. The library branch right next to the fields completes the experience.

Great place to play soccer tennis basketball basketball and they have great garbage baskets if you want to tap them like drums. Safe clean

Very open area park for dogs humans and they have a rec center for all. Basketball and tennis courts. Pool. And more

Free tennis courts from the city in great shape

Went for the Curious George reading event as a chaperone with my son's class. They have a lot of programs for the community. Going April 6th for the egg hunt and free swimming.

Beautiful mural!

Nice swimming especially if you have little ones. They provide a shallow pool for toddler. Nice changing room. Playground needs a bit fix

Being the first place I've played tennis so far in San Francisco, I'm pretty impressed. The ONLY thing I have to ding them for is the lack of outdoor water fountains...what gives? There's a pretty big rec area (playground, tennis courts, basketball court, green area) and no where to rehydrate! Regardless, the tennis courts are in pretty good shape, albeit a bit scuffed up but I'm no pro to complain. The area is well-lit for nighttime playing and it's not at an altitude so there's no wind factor here (for the most part).

My go-to place for the weekend. Hamilton Rev is a great means to stay active with friends. The outdoor tennis and basketball courts are well maintained, complete with nightlight. There is also a pool as well as an indoor basketball court. The facility also provides equipments you can borrow from basketball to tennis rackets! Its proximity to Japantown is the cherry on top. After exercise, it's always good to know that there's a bowl of ramen less than two blocks away.

HAMILTONIA! If I could put 10 stars I would in a heartbeat. My kids have taken classes here and the Tennis Learning Center (TLC) aftercare program is excellent - even striving to make improvements based on feedback. The recreation center staff is upbeat and friendly with very few days closed and free events open to the public. The pool, the various rooms, the basketball court, the building, the tennis courts, the grass areas and the playgrounds are first class. This is what all recreation centers should strive for in San Francisco.

This review is about the tennis courts. Sorry guys, I don't swim! Back in the days, the Hamilton tennis courts were cratered and the net was held up with the help of soup cans. The tennis courts were light at night but the rest of the park is completely dark. And when I say dark, I mean not even the Viet Cong could see through this darkness. But one day the courts were resurfaced. Now they are great courts but there's only two and if you're planning to play at a weekday night, be prepared to wait. When I say wait, I've mean bring a good book and something to keep you warm. If you're lucky enough to get a court, they'll pretty sweet. I've played a lot of tennis in my life and the lights are wrapped completely around the court. That means that you'll see shadows and lose some depth perception (this is minimized when the lights surrounded the side and back of the courts). It still isn't bad. Now here's the shady part, literally. The courts are right next to Western Addition so be prepared at some sketchy people to hang out at the park. Other than the lighted tennis courts, the rest of the park is pitch black. I do have to say that I've never had bottles and fireworks thrown at me (only at the Western Addition courts) here but when the lights go out it'll be pitch black. Someone mentioned that parking isn't bad but they must have not played during a weekday afternoon. During the day, the street parking is taken up by the neighboring businesses and hospital. I've played here during the day and almost always have to park either way down in the Western Addition or park at the Japantown garage. Though I prefer a busy lighted court over a court without light I think the problem is that San Francisco doesn't have enough lighted courts. If they light up the Golden Gate Park Tennis Complex, not only could they collect court fees but also light up 20+ courts for those people who have to work. Oh wait, GGTC used to have lights but they were removed *grumble*

This rec center is a building across from Kimbell Field. I went here to referee dodgeball. I went swimming at Hamilton. Tomorrow I am playing tennis at Hamilton. It's definitely a prime meeting place for adult rec sports and it's orderly and clean. Busy area on Geary.

This rec center is off the hook! Staff is very friendly and helpful! They have both indoor and outdoor basketball courts, outdoor tennis courts, baseball fields and playgrounds for kids. The indoo pool with waterslides are awesome too! For a city rec center, it is very well maintained!

Have you seen the water slides inside this place? They're epic looking. As a kid, being the water child that I was, I would have killed for the opportunity to clumsily propel myself down those chutes. Have you played late night HORSE here on their basketball courts? There's no one around. The courts are yours and watching your shot go in, nothing but net, underneath the moon's glow - is something else. (oh and only try this - if you're nice and quiet - so as to be respectful of sleeping neighbors) Have you played on the tennis courts yet? Free (I believe) and in the midst of the city. Banging balls over the net - as cars cruise by. Hamilton Recreation Center - may not be perfect - but it exists for the community. It's a resource that was built for the public - and I find it hard to hate on something - that's sole purpose is to help make athletic activities - like swimming, basketball, and tennis - more accessible to San Francisco locals. Trust.

Caveat Emptor: This review is not for the pool part of the facility. I've asked the mods or admins or whoever to change the business name since the Hamilton Rec Center also has indoor volleyball and basketball. The tennis courts outdoors as well as the fields outdoors regularly have people playing soccer, kickball (with a keg), softball and frisbee. So I can't comment on the swimming pool, but I've played basketball a number of times, as my roommates and I regularly jumped in to pick up games. The weekend pick up soccer was also great. I think this Rec Center is one of SF's hidden gems, but apparently, I should avoid the swimming pool.

This review is just for the tennis courts. If you're looking for lighted public courts in the pac heights / marina area, there aren't too many options. Basically Alta Park, Moscone Recreation Center, and now Hamilton Rec Center. Hamilton is the best for a few reasons: 1. These are the newest courts and in the best condition 2. Parking on Geary right next to the courts is never a problem 3. It's relatively uncrowded. Because they're new courts, I don't think a lot of people know about them. I've been pretty much once or twice a week and only have to wait about 20% of the time. The only problem I've run into is that twice in the past few months the lights have been broken (though it's usually gotten fixed within a week).
