Delray Beach Tennis Center
A public, city-run tennis facility in the heart of downtown Delray Beach, Florida — where everyday players train on the same clay as ATP pros.
Just west of the restaurants and shops of Atlantic Avenue, the center combines 14 clay courts, hard courts and pickleball courts with an 8,200-seat stadium that hosts the Delray Beach Open, an ATP Tour 250 event. Adults and juniors can join programs, leagues, clinics and camps year-round.

Make the Most of a Visit
Play the clay
South Florida’s green clay is kind on the body and great for building patience, footwork and topspin. Bring clay or all-court shoes with a herringbone sole.
Catch the pros
The Delray Beach Open runs each winter (typically February). Stadium sessions put fans unusually close to the court — and practice courts are easy to watch.
Make it a getaway
Pair tennis with Delray’s beach and downtown dining. See our tennis getaways and Paradise Tennis for trip planning.
