About Park Lakes Tennis & Paddle

"Many wonderful memories beginning around 1964" — that's how one longtime member describes Park Lakes, a private racquet club that has been bringing the Mountain Lakes community together since 1940. Now, with the addition of its first padel court, this historic club is embracing the world's fastest-growing racquet sport.

Park Lakes Tennis & Paddle is an outdoor private racquet club nestled in a quiet, wooded setting in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey. Established in 1940, the club has evolved from a traditional tennis club into a comprehensive racquet sports destination spanning four disciplines.

The Courts

Park Lakes features 1 outdoor padel court alongside 5 red clay tennis courts, 6 lighted platform tennis courts, and 3 pickleball courts. The padel court brings the sport to Morris County, giving members access to padel without leaving their beloved club.

Programs & Coaching

As a members-only club, Park Lakes offers unlimited play across all court types with no additional court fees. The club runs platform tennis scrambles — rotate-in sessions where you don't need to find a foursome — and competitive league play through the New Jersey Platform Tennis Associations. For padel inquiries, contact James Glenn at 908-723-4733.
