Trull Brook Tennis Center

Well, they don't have a website, so here is a consolidation of some information relevant to playing tennis at Trull Brook.

Location:

Trull Brook Tennis Center,
170 River Road, Tewksbury, MA 01876
Ph: 978-851-3133

Trull Brook conducts a program called The Next Champions which trains players of all ages and capabilities. Check their website for more information.

It also houses a Tennis Equipment Clothing Store, which has a considerable collection, with affordable prices. Information about ongoing sales and discounts can easily be obtained over phone.
There are 4 indoor courts at the facility, well maintained and during winter the temperature inside is quite equable. I haven't used the courts in non-snow seasons.

Courts can be reserved on hourly need basis or for long term contracts panning the entire season of several months. For regular players, contracts rates afford decent savings. Non-contract rates are based on hourly costs and vary based on time and day of week.

2008/2009 Non-Contract Rates:

Weekdays (Monday - Friday)
7:00 am - 9:00am - $18.00/hour
9:00 am - 5:00 pm - $29.00/hour
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm - $33.00/hour
10:00 pm - 11:00 pm - $24.00/hours

Weekends (Saturday & Sunday)
7:00 am - 9:00 am - $20.00/hours
9:00 am - 9:00 pm - $33.00/hour
9:00 pm - 11:00 pm - $25.00/hours

Courts can be reserved up to two weeks in advance.

There is usually at least one person manning the front desk and the rest is self-service. An ante-room also has a tiny kiddies corner with some colorful desks, toys and books. There is a vending machine, a refrigerator, a microwave oven and a coffee maker.
There is also sit in area with 5 tables seating at least 20, where players gather to spend time socializing. Over weekends, I've noticed usually all 5 tables are occupied with hot sweaty players sipping beer and munching on party eats :)

The courts can also be reserved for Saturday night tennis parties!



















So, if you are looking for a different way to spend the weekend and don't mind hitting some tennis balls, reserving a court for 2 hours at Trull Brook is worth it. Did I mention there is also a golf course next door... and you can always request the front desk for some old balls if you forget to bring your own!
