LSU New Orleans Tennis Center

Located on Franklin Avenue near Lake Pontchartrain, the LSU New Orleans Tennis Center serves local players, university affiliates, and neighborhood regulars looking for open court time in Gentilly. The facility features standard outdoor hard courts set up for both singles and doubles play. While it maintains a no-frills, functional community atmosphere, the courts offer consistent bounce and reliable footing for casual matches, practice rallies, and recreational tennis. Wind screening surrounds the perimeter to moderate coastal breezes from the lake, and court floodlighting allows for evening sets after work. Players range from collegiate students and medical campus staff to longtime New Orleans residents getting in weekly drills. Court reservations and access are organized through direct facility scheduling, with walk-on availability depending on daily collegiate and community programming. It remains a straightforward, practical venue for dedicated tennis in the Crescent City.
