Canyon County — Nampa, Caldwell and Middleton — makes up the western Treasure Valley, where tennis centers on public courts and college play rather than large private clubs. Public courts include Lions Park in Nampa (three courts rebuilt in 2018) and Luby and Memorial parks in Caldwell, while the College of Idaho in Caldwell fields NAIA men’s and women’s tennis — the county’s only four-year program. League and junior play runs through USTA Intermountain’s Idaho Tennis Association, and the valley’s largest indoor clubs are a short drive east in Boise. This guide covers Canyon County’s courts, events, adult leagues, high schools and college tennis.
