About Flagstaff Gardens Tennis Courts
Flagstaff Gardens Tennis Courts in West Melbourne are two outdoor hard courts operated by Active Melbourne (YMCA Victoria, City of Melbourne). The courts sit within Flagstaff Gardens on William Street and are used for a range of sports including tennis, netball, volleyball, soccer, and pickleball.
Courts must be booked in advance through the Active Melbourne website; walk-ins are not permitted. A code is provided with the booking confirmation to access the locked area. Court hire is $20 per hour before 5pm and approximately $30 per hour in the evening. Both courts have lights for night play. Disabled access is available, and a public toilet is located close by (but not inside the court compound).
The courts suit casual players looking for outdoor city courts. Nets, netball rings, and other equipment are available for hire but balls and racquets are not supplied, so bring your own paddle and pickleball.
