While soft-surface courts are more popular on the East Coast, hard surfaces are most common in California. If your hotel doesn't have a court and can't suggest any courts nearby, try the well-maintained, well-lit Griffith Park Tennis Courts, on Commonwealth Road, just east of Vermont Avenue (tel. 323/662-7772). Call or log on to the website of the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks (tel. 888/527-2757; www.laparks.org) to see a long list of free tennis courts or make a reservation at a municipal court near you. Tip: Spectators can watch free collegiate matches at the UCLA campus's L.A. Tennis Center from October through May. For a schedule of tournaments, call tel. 310/206-6831.
