The City of Boulder will partner with CU Boulder’s athletic department to build an indoor tennis facility and up to eight outdoor courts at the East Boulder Recreation Center, according to a news release. The number of indoor courts will be determined by a site analysis.
The facility and courts are expected to be available in summer 2026. CU Boulder plans to make three temporary courts available to the public at Balch Fieldhouse, where the CU tennis team will also practice. An online reservation system “will be available soon,” the release stated.
The announcement comes after 15 courts were lost due to the redevelopment of the Millenium Harvest Hotel. More are scheduled to close as the city prepares to build a dam and detention pond on land owned by the university, locally known as CU South.
Construction on the flood mitigation is supposed to begin in 2025 or 2026, according to a project website.
