Grab your racquet and hit the court at one of Queensland’s most-loved tennis venues. Set on the banks of the Brisbane River, the UQ Sport Tennis Centre features 21 tennis courts – including two synthetic grass courts – making it the perfect destination for a casual hit with friends or a five-set thriller!
We also have two pickleball courts, a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis and tennis, played on a smaller court.
Year-round there’s coaching sessions – catering to beginners through to tennis pros – Cardio Tennis™ classes and tournaments, as well as UQ Tennis Club’s competitive fixtures and social tennis. Or just sit back, relax and take in the view at the onsite Saint Lucy Caffè e Cucina.
Bookings for tennis are essential, and to avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend booking your court(s) in advance. To make a booking, login or create a My Account profile.
