Friends of Lee LeClear Tennis & Learning Center 

The Houston Parks Board is pleased to partner with the Friends of the Lee LeClear Tennis Center, Inc. and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department to renovate the Lee LeClear Tennis & Learning Center. Opened in 1973, the Lee LeClear Tennis Center was the largest public tennis center in the US. It is still the primary public tennis facility in Houston. All major public statewide tennis tournaments and local tournaments are played at this facility and it is heavily used by local schools and the general public. After 45 years in operation, the Center is in need of a renovation.

The Lee LeClear Tennis Center is being renovated in three phases which are described below:

Current Status: Phase Three

Phase three will include the demolition of the existing building and construction of a new Tennis and Learning Center. The new building will house the staff that runs the Center and tournaments, provide space for educational programs such as the National Junior Tennis Program, and include a community area to host community activities. Also in this phase, we hope to include construction of a new drop off zone in the parking lot, modification of the sidewalks, a new practice wall, new fencing and new windscreens. Funds for this phase will come from funds raised by The Friends of the Lee LeClear Tennis Center, Inc., a 501 c3 non-profit. The project will be managed by the Houston Parks Board.
