Carmichael Recreation Center

Carmichael Recreation Center serves as the central sports and wellness hub on the North Carolina State University campus in Raleigh. The facility features outdoor hard tennis courts built to tournament specifications, complete with durable court coatings and crisp baseline markings. Used by students, faculty, staff, and affiliate members, the courts support energetic singles rallies, doubles matches, and collegiate club practices. Crisp LED lighting extends playing hours into the evening, making after-class and post-work sessions easy to schedule throughout the semester. The court surface offers a consistent medium pace with true ball bounces suited for tactical baseliners and aggressive serve-and-volleyers alike. Access and court reservations run through the NC State Wellness and Recreation system, ensuring structured court time alongside regular open-recreation hours. Whether meeting a hitting partner for drills or competing in campus intramural tournaments, players find a structured, competitive, and sports-focused atmosphere on Morrill Drive.
