Courts in Riverside, California

I'm moving to the Lake Matthews area this summer and wondering what better public courts are available in the nearby areas, preferably lighted for evening play. Thanks.

I believe UC riverside has courts you can use. Or imo the nicest free/public courts I've seen the area is at Orange County Great Park. They have like 25 literally brand new courts with LED lighting. Brand new facility

Are the UC Riverside courts free and open to public (non-students)? I've been to the Great Park. No doubt the courts are nice but the location is too far a drive from Riverside if I want to hit regularly. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

RCC has a really nice facility. Courts are Plexipave (just like IW). They are gritty and play really slow.
Lighting is good there as well.
Their old courts are on top of the parking facility. They are just concrete, so they play differently, but lights are good.
There are also lots of public courts in parks around you. Usually just concrete, and lighting is hit and miss.

Andulka Park has a nice facility, but you have to be a member. They have a Har-Tru court there. Good news about it is that it is always open - nobody wants to dirty up their nice shoes. Bad news is that the wind has blown off most of the top layer, so it is mostly dirt.

Edit: you don’t have to be member at Andulka, but they give preference to their members. Their coaching staff is great.

Is this the RCC you are talking about? The info here says there's no light there.

Looks like Andulka Park charges a court fee for non-members and it adds up if you play regularly. I'm looking for free public courts so I can just show up with a partner whenever we feel like it. Thanks.

You shouldn’t believe everything you read [emoji6]
Lights are there. Just go on google maps, and you’ll see that each court has 8 lights.
And it is actually 10 courts.
Looks like they took out the courts from the top of the parking structure to make room for more PARKING [emoji33]
