2500 Georgia Ave NW Tennis Courts

Banneker Recreation Center at 2500 Georgia Ave NW holds tennis courts used by local residents and the Howard University tennis team. The center opened in 1934 in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Northwest Washington, named for Benjamin Banneker, the free African American surveyor who helped map the original boundaries of Washington, D.C. in 1791. It sits across from Howard University in the Freedman's Bureau Subdivision. The courts are located beyond the facility's swimming pool, with chain-link fencing separating the athletic areas. For booking procedures, fees, seasonal schedules, and court surface details, contact the D.C. Department of Recreation or check its facility pages.
