Gernon Brown Recreation Center

Situated in the Lakeview neighborhood along Harrison Avenue, Gernon Brown Recreation Center serves as an accessible municipal sports hub operated by the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORD). The outdoor tennis facility features dedicated hard courts, complete with standard regulation lines and perimeter chain-link fencing. Local players frequent the courts for casual singles, neighborhood doubles, and youth drills. Court access operates on a public recreational model, making court time straightforward to pick up throughout the week without private club dues. The backdrop of surrounding green space and neighborhood park infrastructure gives the site a community-first feel, where daytime play is common during mild Gulf Coast mornings and late afternoons. Gernon Brown connects neighboring residents to straightforward, no-nonsense public tennis just minutes from City Park, anchoring recreational play in this corner of New Orleans.
