Online tennis and pickleball reservations in Milford
Milford Recreation has partnered with Rec, a modern reservation and registration platform, to introduce a clear schedule of play and free online court reservations for residents at city pickleball and tennis courts. Starting in April*, verified Milford residents will now be able to view a live schedule of play and reserve slots to play pickleball and tennis 7 days in advance at rec.us/milfordct.
*starting date will be confirmed on Tuesday, March 25th
How It Works
1) Milford pickleball and tennis players can go to rec.us/milfordct to make a user account.
2) To get verified as a Milford resident on Rec, email a copy of your photo ID, or other form of proof of residency to MRDPermits@milfordct.gov. You may stop into the Recreation Department to provide proof in person from 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. (We are located at the Parsons Government Complex at 70 West River Street)
3) Once your residency has been verified, you will be able to book up to one court reservation per day and three reservations per week.
"Resident Status" ... In order to reserve courts, you must provide proof of residency to the City of Milford who will add your resident status to your Rec account. Please email a copy of your photo ID, or other form of proof of residency. Or you may stop in the Recreation Department to provide in person from 9am-5pm M-F. We are located at the Parsons Government Complex at 70 West River Street. Please allow up to 5 business days for your residency status to be activated in your account.
The one-per-day and three-per-week reservation limits apply per household. So, residents at the same address who each want to reserve three courts per week should create separate household accounts.
