Audubon Commission Hosted Third Meeting to Discuss Improvements to Tennis Facilities and Increased Community Access

These proposed improvements will create state-of-the-art public facilities that honor the needs of the recreational tennis community, new youth players, and community partners. The new amenities and multi-functional community space will be a resource for the public to enjoy while maintaining the sustainable balance of active and passive space in Audubon Park. The proposal will increase access to tennis while retaining the facility’s original footprint.
Audubon hosted two public meetings in 2019, and since those meetings, has engaged extensively with individual groups interested in discussing the tennis infrastructure, facilities, and programming. Audubon met with avid Audubon Park tennis players and representatives of the New Orleans Metropolitan Area Tennis Association, United States Tennis Association, NORDC, Loyola University, Tulane University, Children’s Hospital New Orleans, and neighbor groups to reach a wide variety of users and develop a vision for Audubon Tennis that reflects community need.
