Mel Stillman Community Tennis Center

Mel Stillman Community Tennis Center provides accessible tennis facilities to players in Charlestown and the greater Boston area. Situated alongside Medford Street, the center features outdoor hard courts that have historically utilized seasonal bubble enclosures to keep play going through the colder New England months. The atmosphere is unpretentious and focused on grassroots recreation, welcoming local neighborhood residents, school teams, and community tennis initiatives. Court surfaces are lined for standard singles and doubles play, illuminated by overhead lighting for evening matches. The facility regularly hosts community-driven programs, youth tennis developments, and open recreational play. Booking and access operate through local community scheduling and seasonal program registrations, making it a reliable public option for city tennis players looking to hit without high private club fees.
