Stanley Park Calgary Tennis Courts
On the banks of the Elbow River, Stanley Park has long been a tennis oasis for Calgarians in the warmer months. Surrounded by trees the well maintained courts are a popular place to hit a few rounds. The park was directly in the path of the floods that damaged so much of the city in June 2013. But as if by some miracle, the courts were dry and playable shortly after.
Stanley Park has six free, very popular hard courts for daytime play.
