Katrina Adams Tennis Courts

Named in honor of former USTA president and Chicago native Katrina Adams, these outdoor courts at Skinner Park offer public tennis access on Chicago's Near West Side. The site features outdoor hard courts enclosed by chain-link fencing, suited for neighborhood players looking for a quick hit or self-organized doubles sets. As a municipal Chicago Park District location, the courts operate primarily on a first-come, first-served basis throughout daylight hours. Players should anticipate typical urban public-court conditions, where surface wear, paint weathering, and net tension can vary by season. Local residents, students, and recreational hitters frequent the courts during spring and summer afternoons. Because there is no staffed clubhouse, front desk, or equipment rental on site, visitors must bring their own gear, tennis balls, and water. It serves as an accessible, straightforward spot for unpretentious outdoor tennis within walking distance of the West Loop.
