The Tennis Center, located in the Jerusalem Sports Complex, near the Municipal Football Stadium and the Arena, offers a significant upgrade to the existing tennis center by adding 6 modern indoor tennis courts designed to the highest international standards.
The new 9000 m² two story high building offers distinctive spaces dedicated to different functions. The ground floor is dedicated to sports support and provides spaces such as clinics, alternative sports spaces and sports accommodation. The indoor tennis courts are located on the second floor, allowing play all rear round regardless of weather conditions. The courts also feature natural ventilation that provides optimal comfort for playing in all months of the year and in any weather. In addition, the sports center will feature a commercial front facing the light rail station, the new line planned in Jerusalem. With the existing Tennis Center being an important Jerusalem community and sports hub for many years, it is important to celebrate the new design by breaking down the walls that surrounded the old premises and present it in an inviting manner to the general public, making the tennis center part of the urban sporting experience.
