It has been possible to book tennis courts in Helsinki online through the Varaamo service since summer 2020. Before the introduction of online booking, the tennis courts were booked by queuing on site. A free outdoor tennis court can still be played free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis if there are no people present who have booked a single tennis session.
Varaamo is the space booking service of the City of Helsinki, where residents and communities can book the city’s spaces and equipment for their own use.
