HILLCREST RECREATION CENTER

Hillcrest Recreation Center serves the Highland Park neighborhood in St. Paul with dependable public athletic facilities managed by Saint Paul Parks and Recreation. The site features outdoor hard tennis courts finished with regulation lines, suitable for casual rallies, match practice, and local recreational play. Surrounded by neighborhood parkland, the courts offer an accessible, unpretentious environment for players who want to hit without private club membership fees. Play operates primarily on a first-come, first-served basis during daylight hours, with occasional municipal clinics and permitted group programs throughout the warmer months. Its location on Ford Parkway makes it a regular stop for local tennis enthusiasts, high school players getting in extra reps, and adult recreational partners. The adjacent community center provides essential infrastructure during standard building hours, anchoring an active, community-driven sports hub in the southern corner of the city.
