Updated November 2026. Tennis City Kona › Kona Tennis Courts
Kailua Park, at 75-5500 Kuakini Hwy., is the big county park at the Old Kona Airport, next to Kekuaokalani Gym and the Kona Community Aquatic Center. The county’s Kailua Park page lists outdoor tennis courts and pickleball courts. The county doesn’t publish a court count; map data shows 4 tennis courts.
What to expect
The courts were resurfaced in 2018, with new fencing and an LED lighting system for night play, and reopened that August. The county’s pickleball page gives park hours of 7am to 8pm and lists pickleball here too, so expect to share. Pickleball players bring their own nets.
The county publishes no fee and no booking system for tennis here, so treat the courts as first come, first served. The park has parking and restrooms; a new comfort station is under construction in 2026.
