Oakland was selected as host city for the 2014 National Public Parks Tennis Championships (NPPTC)! The tournament was a huge success and the biggest USTA sanctioned tournament in Northern California history. Over 500 players particpated in singles, doubles and mixed doubles in juniors, seniors, NTRP and Open.
This was a HUGE honor, and a superb opportunity to showcase Davie Tennis Stadium and the entire City of Oakland to a national tennis audience.
