Boston University Track & Tennis Center

Attended a graduation ceremony here and it was well-​mainted and pretty well-​organuzed.

The tennis courts here are just awesome. If you are a member of the Fitness and Recreation Center at BU you can schedule to play here as part of your membership. This is also where BU tennis classes and lessons take place. The courts are great. There is plenty of room between the courts and there’s always a good amount of netting to keep your balls from flying off into the track or into a another court. However, it is sometimes very difficult to play here because the courts get scheduled quickly and are sometimes totally off limits if there are BU tennis classes, lessons or the tennis teams need to practice here. I would love to play here more, it’s just not super convenient.

Wow, I’ve never played on a surface like this before! Slow like terre battue yet bouncy and soft like grass. Although I prefer fast surfaces, I’m willing to trade that for how forgiving the court is on my achy joints.
Timing is sometimes a major adjustment playing indoors; not here. The ball bounces slowly; too slowly. Points are longer — forcing me to play smarter. My goal is to make it a hitting match rather than a track meet.
Just reviewing the tennis courts — again fantastic. I must add that the six-​lane indoor track, rec area (there were 2 guys wrestling — Olympic style), basketball courts, and golf range were impressive. Street parking is easy and free. And convenient to do some shopping at the nearby Shaw’s.
