Positive Reviews:

Sai P: ★★★★

Visited this park for the first time to picnic on a blanket …relaxing shade under trees at multiple places. The park is too big to explore in one visit. They have pickle ball and tennis courts…I loved some of the picnic tables they had…I will explore them the next time. Tennis court has clean restrooms too. It has a pond full of geese but it’s surrounded by geese poop 💩. It stinks a bit.

Raghav Bhandari: ★★★★★

Nice pickleball courts with a easy reservation system.

Oliver Leopold: ★★★★★

The Santa Clara Tennis Center offers 8 newly resurfaced lit courts, with open/free play on weekdays 12-4pm and weekends 6pm-10pm. Court lights are on until 10pm and there is a full size hitting wall that remains lit until 10:15pm. The courts are managed 8am-10pm, and year-round tennis programs are available for the community youth and adults. The SCTC offers academy-quality tennis instruction at municipal prices, with a tennis Pro-Shop that is staffed on a full time basis, and programming so that local community's can learn and enjoy the game of tennis without having to become a member of a private tennis facility or country club. The Pro-Shop provides a retail solution, racket stringing, ball machine rental, demo program and a drink or snack bar for convenience. The bleachers have been renovated and the city is in the process of getting a shade solution for spectators.

John Kim: ★★★★

It's the most popular tennis facility in silicon valley. I dearly love the place. It would merit 5 stars if it had more spectator benches or bleachers. Also there are some badly placed juniper bushes next to courts which swallow up balls never to be seen again. Management please get rid of the bushes!

Gobu Ezhumalai: ★★★★★

Volodymyr Kondilenko: ★★★★★

I would like to thank Manny for his fantastic job. He changed the regular grommet on the Cap one in vintage Head Graphite Pro tennis racquet. He is top level professional stringer. I am very grateful for his top-ranking level and accurate job. Highly recommended!!!! 5 starts !!!!! Volodymyr Kondilenko

Wait time was high.

Negative Reviews:

Cristina Izzo: ★★

We have been trying group classes in different locations and with different clubs. Lifetime activities in Santa Clara is ok If you pay for the kids to have fun and move around. In group classes, kids are given few to none directions/corrections, one of the coaches was often looking at his mobile phone. I don’t have big expectations about group classes vs private lessons but this one was not very engaging, hard to see an improvements path.

Sevastian Schlau: ★

No posted signage detailing rules. We played pickleball and it was an empty court, someone still kicked us out aggressively

Yif eL: ★★

I Courts are nice. But some staff/coach member is extremely rude. Having couple balls crossing our court reaching the other side and got yelled at by a couch named Peter aggressively. Literally physically crossing our court and walked into our face(less than 6 feet) and tell us to stop doing that….wow, that shouldn’t be the spirit of tennis…such a shame this guy can be a coach regardless of his skill set.

smwli smwli123: ★

If you are considering a private tutor, skip Martin. He seldom comes to the court on time. You have to remove someone who occupying the court by yourself before Martin comes to the court. He always shows off his skills but does not help too much on improving learner’s skills. I also observed that most of his students are beginners.

Zelia Cardoso: ★★

Well they came with windshield but needed to get the rubber that goes around the windshield put in an order for it and it takes about 10 days for order to come in its been over 1 month and part hasn't come in I call 1 time per week and no part. Now I want my money back for the windshield I paid

Suryadeep Agrawal: ★★

I like the classes which my 9 year old takes but giving only 2 stars because they don't have any focus on individual kids. They do not ever discuss kid's progress or long term coaching program. Every session is brand new and they have no way to inform you when the current session ending or registration for next one starting. It is extremely frustrating as parents as my kid can't have continuous coaching over multiple seasons. They couldn't care less as long as new batch of kids keep registering.

Mohammed T. Rahman: ★

They have ping pong tables but only for camps, not open to public.

Inhyuck Yeo: ★

can someone help me how to claim the discrimination that I experience from one of staff working at Lifetime activities?
