Armijo Recreation Center

Located in historic Segundo Barrio, Armijo Recreation Center serves as a vital community hub for El Paso sports enthusiasts. Managed by the City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department, the facility features outdoor hard tennis courts open for public recreational play, competitive drills, and neighborhood pick-up matches. The courts sit alongside the main center, which also houses an indoor gymnasium, fitness rooms, and seasonal aquatic facilities. The playing environment is unpretentious and active, catering to local residents, youth programs, and adult players seeking accessible court time close to Downtown El Paso. Court use operates primarily on a first-come, first-served basis, though scheduled city programs and clinics take precedence during designated hours. Evening sessions benefit from basic court lighting, allowing play past sunset under the desert sky. It remains a dependable, accessible public venue for working on baseline rallies or serving practice without country-club fees.
