The SFSU tennis courts are on the western edge of the SFSU campus, next to the SF State baseball field. You cannot see these facilities from the road, since they are in a sunken area surrounded by trees. The tennis courts ARE visible from the SFSU parking lot / garage area. This parking area is at the end of State Drive, a side street which intersects (T-fashion) with Lake Merced Boulevard. Parking without a permit can cause your vehicle to be ticketed if they are checking. Temporary permits are available in the garage structure for a minimal cost.
