Cahuilla Park

When I was with a friend of mine we found this park many years ago while looking for some tennis courts to play on when in the area. Love this park for the well maintained and lit tennis courts. Situated just North of Claremont High School, off of Indian Hill in a residential neighborhood, the park has well established trees which provide great shade. The park is fairly large, but best of all there is almost always an open court.

This park has plenty of open «green space», eight tennis courts, softball/​baseball fields and two children’s playground areas (separating the «big» kids from the «little» kids by a bridge).
If you’re going to do a child’s birthday party here, the most attractive spot is right next to the playground areas, under all the big trees where there are a few tables and a BBQ station. The second best option is by the «stage» area with a bunch of picnic tables and a bigger BBQ grill. (I’m not sure about the reservation requirements, so check before planning your next event).
I come for the tennis courts, which are well maintained and, if you get lucky enough to snag some of the «front four» courts, they are lighted at night!!! You’ll have to let the instructors contracted through the city take those courts when they are there though. If you come during the day, the majority of the courts are open.
Overall, this is a great park with a friendly feel. During summer days, you’ll see kids playing in the playground, parents cheering for their children’s baseball/​softball games, people jogging around and people playing tennis.
We’ve yet to see an ice cream man hanging around (which my daughter constantly asks for). I’m sure as spring gets closer to summer, my daughter will be an even happier park goer.

This park is really clean! They have two separate playlets; one for two year olds and younger, and one for two and up! They also have a cute stage and tables set up around it. There are baseball fields and a basketball court. We enjoyed it here, so we’ll be back!

One full basketball court. That’s all I really need from this place: D. There are nets on the courts, but the south court is a bit off centered (looks like someone dunked on it a little too hard from the right side). Well lit and very close to the parking lot. If you’re into skating, there’s a skate park just across the walkway.

I play (sort of play, still learning) tennis here. Plenty of open courts every time I go (weekday/​weekend afternoons). If you see tennis balls flying over the fence that’s me hitting home runs. I’ve mixed up tennis with baseball sometimes.
