People for Palmer Park runs a volunteer-driven junior tennis academy providing summer tennis instruction for Detroit children ages 5 to 15, with racquets and balls provided. The community program uses the QuickStart/USTA junior progression method and includes beginner, pre-teen, and advanced excellence tracks. It is a nonprofit, park-based summer program rather than a full-day camp.

Powered by GoogleSurprisingly vibrant, lot of activity, new pickle ball and tennis courts. I was there early afternoon, no shenanigans.
Better than the pickleball courts
It was nice and clean
I grew up playing golf at Palmer Park, and my grandparents lived in the neighborhood. I played pickle ball there today and am blown away with this beautiful facility. Wow what a well kept and fun facility for people of all ages!! This is still a work in progress for the pond and other amenities, but tennis and pickle ball are up and running with a vibrant feel, and friendly people.
Love there tennis courts
