Lake Nokomis Tennis Courts

The Nokomis-Hiawatha area of Minneapolis has a rich history of outdoor community tennis courts.  Many of the tennis courts have been eliminated of fallen into disrepair.

It's time to bring tennis back to this community!

• Tennis courts are free for everyone, and there are not enough courts to meet demand.

• More than 900 adults signed up for tennis programs in the parks last summer --but 300 remained on waitlists due to not enough available courts.

• Youth and adult tennis programs and neighborhood players all compete for the neighborhood's last remaining courts, at Lake Hiawatha Park.
• Innercity Tennis (ICT) runs youth programming throughout the city but has been limited in being able to offer youth programming due to unsafe court conditions. 
• Roosevelt High School tennis teams are highly popular with local youth, but there are not enough courts for sufficiant practice and match times for all the kids that want to play. 
• Locating 7+ tennis courts together supports high school and other competitive match play. High school scoring consists of 4 singles and 3 doubles matches --some players on large tennis teams wait hours to play during a match whit it occurs at a site with few tennis courts.
