EMC Downtown Park

EMC Downtown Park provides public outdoor tennis courts set directly within the urban core of Des Moines. Situated along Walnut Street, this facility gives downtown residents, office commuters, and local players direct access to outdoor hard courts for recreational play, lunchtime rallies, and post-work matches. The courts feature standard hard-court surfacing with regulation white line striping and durable perimeter fencing to control stray balls during fast-paced play. Because of its central downtown location, the park serves as a community hub for self-organized pickup games, casual singles match-ups, and friendly doubles sets. The adjacent landscaped green space and park benches offer functional spots to rest between changeovers or watch ongoing matches. Operating on an accessible drop-in layout, it offers a practical venue for anyone seeking court time in the heart of the city without requiring private club dues.
