Tennis Courts

Located at Essex Park on SE Center Street, these outdoor tennis courts serve the Southeast Portland community with accessible public recreation. The setup features standard hard courts enclosed by chain-link fencing, suited for baseline rallies, casual sets, and practice drills. Players from surrounding neighborhoods gather here for unreserved matches, weekend doubles, and solo practice against the backboard when available. Operating on a first-come, first-served basis typical of Portland Parks & Recreation sites, the facility offers a no-frills, straightforward environment for neighborhood tennis enthusiasts. The surrounding park setting provides green open space, tree shade along the perimeter, and a relaxed, community-driven playing atmosphere throughout the spring, summer, and early autumn months.
