Tennis Center History

Our first four-court air structure opened for play January 1, 1992.  The second air structure, also with four courts, opened November 6, 2006.

A new energy-efficient lighting system was installed in the Tennis Center in December 2003.

The Nike Tennis Championships of Oregon, hosted by the Tennis Center, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2008.

Tennis Center Today

The Park District owns and operates 111 tennis courts, which includes our new Tualatin Hills Tennis Center Stadium Court.  These courts are located in 36 separate park sites throughout the district.

The Stadium Court opened for play in the summer of 2007. It is a joint venture of the Park District and the Greater Portland Tennis Council. The venue will be used to further grow and showcase the game.

Our summer camps for junior players have been so well received they are now a part of our annual programming, so look for them again in 2009.

Our instructional programs offer more than 11,000 hours of tennis lesson opportunities per year.

League play, for both adults and juniors, makes up a significant amount of our programming and adds a competitive option for our patrons.
