Community Meeting Planned to Discuss Improvements to Audubon Park Tennis Courts
On Tuesday, December 3, and Tuesday, December 10, Audubon Commission will host public engagement sessions regarding Audubon Tennis as part of the Audubon Park Master Plan process that began in 2018.
Tennis infrastructure, facilities, and programing will be discussed during these public input sessions in Audubon Team Room from 6 to 7 p.m.
Audubon is seeking community feedback during these meetings, and those interested in the project are also able to provide input in the form below.
“There was much enthusiasm surrounding tennis during the last set of Audubon Park Master Plan public input sessions, so we are excited to continue the conversation about the future of the Audubon Park Tennis Courts,” said Audubon’s Executive Vice President of Public Affairs and General Counsel Rebecca Dietz. “These courts have been a part of the community for over 100 years, and we are eager to discuss their next chapter.”
Audubon Tea Room is located at 6500 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70118.

Tennis courts unfortunately lack night lights. Competing tennis courts in New Orleans have night lights and extend their hours of operations by half a day and subsequently receive additional revenue. Especially during week days, people are working and can only play during night time/after hours that the facility closes.
As a user of the tennis courts I highly recommend that an investment on night lights would increase dramatically the usage of the courts and would bring more revenue during the most demanding hours which is during weekdays afterhours.
Hope this request will be heard as a natural evolution of a tennis court that can better serve tennis funs in New Orleans.
Thank you

If adding lighting, LED.
