About
Tennis Anyone Boca Raton is an independent journal about life in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County with a tennis and recreation angle. The name is a nod to the address this domain has carried since 2010, when a small racquet shop operated on Federal Highway; the shop closed years ago and nothing is sold here now. The journal is editorial only, and it has no affiliation with any shop, club, or business past or present.
The pieces here cover the recreation life of the area: the public courts scattered through city and county parks, the leagues and drop-in play that run on them, the rhythm of playing outdoors in a South Florida summer, and the wider local-living backdrop around the game, from park renovations to how the season shapes the calendar.
A few things the journal believes, stated plainly:
- Public courts are the most underused recreation infrastructure in Palm Beach County. Most sit empty most mornings, and most cost nothing or almost nothing to use.
- Generic advice travels badly. Court surfaces, booking rules, league structures, and summer heat all differ enough from place to place that specifics matter, and this journal tries to name the actual park, program, or rule.
- A journal can cover a sport without selling anything about it.
Nothing is sold here. There is no newsletter, no comment form, and no ads. The journal links to government and university sources, to its own articles, and nowhere else.
