Norris Aquatics Center

Set on Northwestern University's lakeside campus in Evanston, the recreation complex housing the Norris Aquatics Center and adjacent tennis facilities serves collegiate athletes, faculty, and community members. Tennis players have access to indoor hard courts at the adjoining Combe Tennis Center alongside outdoor campus courts configured for seasonal play. The atmosphere reflects collegiate athletics: competitive, disciplined, and active. Lighting is tournament-grade across the indoor bays, delivering clear sightlines for fast-paced baseline rallies. Court bookings run through Northwestern Recreation's online portal, accommodating both student groups and community pass holders. In the warmer months, the breeze off Lake Michigan cools the outdoor courts, while the indoor fieldhouse provides dependable conditions through Midwest winters. With structured club practices, open recreation slots, and intramural matches, the facility anchors Evanston's collegiate and local tennis community without unnecessary pretension.
