Frick Park Clay Courts Tennis Club - - Founded 2007

Welcome to the Frick Park Clay Court Tennis Club website. Our incorporated, non-profit and volunteer-based 501c4 organization was founded by local tennis players and neighbors of the courts in June 2007 to restore, maintain and revitalize the historic red clay tennis courts in Frick Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which first opened in 1930 and were among the first generation of public clay tennis courts in the US. Thanks to the invigorating hands-on volunteering and encouragement of many players and supporters in Pittsburgh and beyond, our efforts have been recognized with several awards: 2007 Community Tennis Association of the Year Award by the USTA Allegheny Mountain District, 2014 and most recently 2016 USTA Middle States Premier Provider, and the 2015 USTA Middle States Community Tennis Association of the Year.

The Frick Park Clay Courts are also part of Citiparks Tennis, which oversees public tennis courts in over 50 of the Pittsburgh parks and playgrounds! As a recognized USTA Community Tennis Association, FPCCTC works closely with Citiparks and collaborates with local community organizations to provide quality tennis programs for all ages and all levels of play, including free introductory clinics and community tennis events, weekly round robin play, junior and adult USTA-Sanctioned tournaments, after-school junior tennis, junior summer tennis camps, local and USTA Leagues tennis teams, and coach development workshops while maintaining the unique red clay courts for area residents and visitors from all over the world to enjoy.

Since 2007, in addition to court surface restoration and seasonal and daily maintenance, many court improvements have included new permanent clay court "nail-less" lines, an electric cart to roll the courts and haul materials, new underground water lines, new fence and design, and a new exhibition court viewing area for the first time in the history of the courts. Court surface materials now include crushed red brick top dressing added to the existing red clay surface, as part of our ongoing Green Initiatives. All are welcome to watch and play tennis on Pittsburgh's historic red clay courts!
