Charles Houston Recreation Center

Located in the Parker-Gray district of Alexandria, Charles Houston Recreation Center serves as an active municipal hub for local racquet sports and neighborhood fitness. The facility provides outdoor hard tennis courts lined for structured singles and doubles play alongside casual practice. Operated by the City of Alexandria Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities, the courts host regular community match play, seasonal youth programs, and adult recreation. High perimeter fencing keeps balls contained, while overhead floodlights extend court usability well into the evening hours. Players benefit from a welcoming, unpretentious setting that brings together local tennis enthusiasts across Alexandria. In addition to outdoor racquet facilities, the community center houses indoor fitness amenities, making it a reliable training base for everyday athletes.
