Playing Site

Cooper Creek Tennis Center is a public facility with a two story clubhouse overlooking 30 rubico courts. In 1996 and again in 2001, Cooper Creek received the "Outstanding Tennis Facility" award from the USTA. In the spring of 1993, a clubhouse and 8 courts were added to the original 12 courts (built 1972). In March of 1997, the original 12 courts were completely renovated. In December 1999, construction began on an additional 10 courts including a stadium court and were completed in April 2000. With the addition of these new courts, Cooper Creek is arguably the finest facility in the United States.
