Best of 2003: Best-Kept-Secret Tennis Courts

Mission Hills Courts
Corner of Washington and Randolph Streets

These two city-owned and free-to-the-public courts are located across from Pioneer Park and overlook the greenery of Mission Hills Nursery. Although recently refurbished, they still have an air of the olden days about them. People are polite as they wait for the players ahead of them to finish. And when your wayward backstroke sends the ball over the fence, you won't mind having to fetch it from the pretty environs.
