I've used a tennis court for exercising my dogs before. Unfortunately I can't use the ones in my neighborhood anymore because people complained about dogs in the roller hockey court. It kind sucks because first, I would always take my dogs and leave if someone else wanted to come in, and as far as I know, so did everyone else with dogs who used it, and we always cleaned up after our dogs, unlike the kids who play hockey in the court or skateboard there. The court was being destroyed before, but at least people with dogs would pick up some of the trash and what not. Now that we can't take dogs there, it's a big mess. The fence is destroyed in parts, and the door is ripped off. Ok, end of rant.
Anyway, if you don't over do it, and you leave when someone wants to play tennis, it shouldn't be an issue. However, letting your dog run around while people play tennis is rude and annoying. Plus, people coming in could open the door and let your dog out by accident, which they probably do not want to do. I always found it best to ask people to give me a minute before opening the door so that I could catch the dog and go.
