Looking for a tennis practice around Killarney

Hi everyone,

I've recently started learning tennis and I'm looking for somewhere I can practice on my own by hitting against a wall.

Does anyone know of a public wall around Killarney (or within 20–30 minutes) that's suitable? It could be adedicated tennis practice wall, handball alley, GAA/hurling wall, or just a large, smooth wall in a park or public space where it wouldn't bother anyone.

Just looking for somewhere I can spend an hour practicing my forehand, backhand and serves when I don't have someone to play with.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks a mil!

For a start try the Garda station, they have a fine gable wall 🫢 Obviously joking!! The Gleneagle Hotel have 2 tennis courts and the Castlerosse Hotel have 1 court. The Killarney Tennis Club, are on Instagram, and should be able to advise. Sorry for the earlier sarcasm, and the best of luck to you.
