Chandler-Newberger Community Center

Chandler-Newberger Community Center serves as a reliable hub for Evanston's neighborhood athletics and tennis community on Central Street. Operated by the City of Evanston’s Parks & Recreation Department, the facility provides access to well-maintained outdoor hard tennis courts directly adjacent to the center, as well as indoor multi-sport gymnasiums utilized for seasonal play, youth drills, and rainy-day clinics. Players gather here for recreational matches, structured municipal lessons, and junior development programs. The atmosphere is unpretentious and community-driven, drawing local residents, Northwestern students, and neighborhood tennis enthusiasts year-round. Court reservations and program registrations run directly through the City of Evanston’s recreation portal, ensuring organized scheduling alongside open-play windows. With changing facilities, meeting spaces, and proximity to local parks, Chandler-Newberger remains an accessible anchor for North Shore tennis players looking for consistent court time without private club dues.
