Long before she became a world-famous tennis player and outspoken activist for gender equality and LGBTQ rights, this Long Beach native played the public tennis courts in her hometown. This center, named after her (and including her maiden name), requires reservations to use the eight lighted courts. Fees apply, but there is free court time available on non-holiday weekdays, Monday through Friday, and for students and senior citizens (65 years and over) with appropriate identification.
