MIT Outdoor Tennis Courts

Located along Amherst Alley on the MIT campus adjacent to the Charles River, the MIT Outdoor Tennis Courts offer quality hard courts serving the university community and local players. The complex features well-maintained, regulation hard courts with crisp line markings, sturdy perimeter fencing, and protective wind screens. Managed under the MIT Department of Athletics, Physical Education, and Recreation (DAPER), the facility hosts varsity practices, intramural tournaments, physical education instruction, and open recreation play. Court access and reservation policies prioritize MIT students, faculty, staff, and DAPER recreation members, with designated reservation windows during peak seasons. The open-air setting right next to Briggs Field provides an authentic collegiate tennis atmosphere, making it a reliable spot for intense singles matchups, social doubles, and structured training sessions in Cambridge.
