Venue Overview
Memorial Park Tennis Center sits inside Memorial Park in Colorado Springs in Colorado Springs, and the City calls it the main tennis facility and the hub of tennis activities for the whole system. The City publishes a separate mailing address for the center itself, 1315 E. Pikes Peak Ave. Park hours are 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. from November 1 through April 30, and 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. from May 1 through October 31.
About the Courts
Twelve outdoor tennis courts, per the City’s Memorial Park page. Worth flagging that the City’s Parks department publishes a higher figure of fifteen on its separate Tennis and Pickleball page, and the contracted operator, Springs Tennis, also works from fifteen; we have gone with the lower, more conservative count. Lighting is likewise disputed, with the Parks page saying eleven courts are lit and Springs Tennis saying all of them are. Surface type is never stated by either party, so we do not list one. There is no pickleball at Memorial; the City’s pickleball list leaves it off.
Free, First-Come, and the Biggest Municipal Footprint in the Springs
The practical appeal here is simple. It is the largest public tennis complex in Colorado Springs, it costs nothing to play, and you do not need a reservation. That combination is rare. Show up, take an open court, and if the lights matter to your plan, call ahead, since the City and its operator do not agree on how many courts are lit. The City’s Tennis and Pickleball page also still carries stale 2019 season content, so treat program dates there with the same caution.

Planning Your Sporting Event Here
This is the largest municipal tennis footprint in Colorado Springs, with a proven record hosting a sanctioned multi-day tournament. The City describes the courts as free and first-come rather than publicly reservable, though that text did not render on our verification fetches. Courts can be closed to drop-in play under a City special permit, which is the mechanism organizers use. Meetup RSVPs and City Park League signups run through the weekly Springs Tennis email blast; program registration goes through the City’s Amilia store.
