Courts, Communities, and Competition
Start here
A few useful first moves, whether you have an hour to play or a week in town.
Try Mahany Park’s six courts at 1545 Pleasant Grove Boulevard, or one of the smaller parks listed below. Check signs and reserved use when you arrive. The city rental list (roseville.ca.gov) identifies eight reservable tennis sites.
Call Roseville Parks & Recreation at 916-772-PLAY (7529) or email fieldrentals@roseville.ca.gov. The city is updating its forms; its last posted application required booking at least two weeks ahead. Ask what is available for your dates. Booking instructions (roseville.ca.gov)
Post your dates, approximate NTRP level, singles or doubles preference, and preferred park on Global Tennis Network (globaltennisnetwork.com). For organized play, ask Johnson Ranch or Life Time about a level matched drill or mixer.
Johnson Ranch Sports Club (sparetimesportsclubs.com) lists 25 tennis courts across its Roseville operation. Life Time Roseville (lifetime.life) offers outdoor reservations to eligible members. Confirm guest access before buying a pass.
The courts have been under renovation. The city estimated completion in early to mid fall 2026, with one tennis court bearing pickleball lines and two dedicated pickleball courts afterward. Confirm reopening before you go. Project update (roseville.ca.gov)
Plan your play
Browse nearby players by stated level on Global Tennis Network (globaltennisnetwork.com), then suggest a specific time and public park. For recurring matches, explore a SATA member club or park (sactennis.org), a USTA NorCal league (usta.com), or club drills and mixers. Partner profile counts do not guarantee active players.
Contact players before arrival through Global Tennis Network (globaltennisnetwork.com). Offer two time windows, your approximate level, and a park such as Mahany. A Life Time mixer (my.lifetime.life) or Johnson Ranch drop-in session (sparetimesportsclubs.com) may help if you have club access; confirm visitor eligibility first.
For casual play, try a public park and keep a backup site. For a confirmed booking, contact the city immediately. Its last published form required a two-hour minimum, full payment, and reservations at least two weeks ahead, so a newly planned trip may be too late for a permit. That form listed $10 per court per hour; request the current rate. Johnson Ranch requires membership or an accompanied member guest visit. Life Time booking is for eligible members, and guest racquet access may be limited. City application (civiclive.com) · Johnson Ranch policy (sparetimesportsclubs.com) · Life Time terms (my.lifetime.life)
Call Johnson Ranch at 916-782-2300 or tennis director Scott Potthast at 415-250-2680. Its 2026 guide (sparetimesportsclubs.com) lists private pros, adult drills, and junior classes. Call Life Time tennis at 916-472-2091 for its lesson options (my.lifetime.life). For park lessons, contact Tennis With Cole (tenniswithcole.com) or Elevation Tennis (elevationtennis.com) and ask about permits. Check the city registration portal (roseville.ca.gov) for seasonal classes.
At 2.0–2.5, start with a beginner clinic or a partner open to rallying. At 2.5–3.0, Johnson Ranch’s published calendar (sparetimesportsclubs.com) includes level specific mixed and women’s sessions; ask about access. At 3.0–4.0, try club drills, SATA teams (sactennis.org), and USTA leagues. If your level is uncertain, consult the USTA NTRP guide (usta.com) and say whether your rating is estimated or official.
Where to play
Outdoor public courts range from Mahany’s six-court group to neighborhood parks. Clubs offer more programming and reserved play.
The city’s last posted court application (civiclive.com) supplies the listed addresses and rental court counts. These are outdoor paved courts; the city does not publish a separate surface coating specification for each park. Lighting appears below only where an individual city park page confirms it. Park pages generally state sunrise to one hour after sunset, with exceptions for permitted lighted facilities. Confirm evening access and lighting controls before planning a night match.

Make a day of it
Roseville offers several ways to play within one city: a six-court public group at Mahany, smaller neighborhood courts, two active private club programs, and regional SATA, USTA, and UTR competition. You can arrange a casual morning rally, meet players in a level based drill, or enter an event during a longer stay. Royer Park puts a match near downtown, while Mahany combines courts with a larger recreation complex.
