Cristiania Park in Chapala, Mexico, offers six of the finest maintained tennis courts in the lakeside area. Two sandpit volleyball courts are available daily. The fully stocked pro shop is open daily, and players of all levels are welcome and can easily find a match.

Truly this is a one-of-a-kind tennis facility where Gringos play weekday mornings, and stronger Mexican players cover the courts in the afternoons. On weekends you'll find a full mix of fine local talent as well as visiting Guadalajara's players.

QUALITY COURTS, EXCELLENTLY MAINTAINED

This beautiful park is located on the water's edge of Lake Chapala, and can be accessed easily by driving East through Chapala. Or ask anyone and they can direct you.

GERRARDO, ONE OF THE CLUB'S TOP PLAYERS

The court charges are the lowest in the area, in fact the world, at $2 US per hour, per court. You cannot find cheaper entertainment. Beers are only a buck, and soft drinks are fifty cents. Recently, I attended a social where for $5 US I got all the tennis I wanted, a large steak, potatoes, salads and deserts. We were asked to bring a dish for 6-8 people.

Fun tennis and social events take place regularly, and many lifelong friendships have been started here.

Akaisha and I have played tennis in many locations around the world, but Chapala Tennis is by far the most fun. On court we have fierce battles for pride followed by the traditional handshakes and usually a few beers. Sometimes as new players arrive throughout the morning, we continue to play more.

What a great way to meet new friends, stay in shape, and enjoy the beauty of Lake Chapala.

Every level of play can find a game here. All you have to do is show up, ask a couple of the friendly folks and you will begin to experience the reason why so many return to this beautiful facility year after year.

BILLY AND THE BOYS; NACHO AND RICKI

Volleyball is available daily, however you are invited to join a group that shows up every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for 10 Pesos per person. It's a great value.
