History
In the late 1950's, a driving range peppered with little white dimpled balls is what sat on the Southwest corner of Alvernon and Broadway Boulevard. Today it is the location of the Southwest's crown jewel of public tennis facilities, boasting 25 lighted hard courts tucked within the lush greenery of Reffkin Park. Reffkin Tennis Center is now Tucson's flagship public racket facility, but it has grown from humble beginnings. Reffkin Tennis Center was constructed in 1961 and consisted of 10 red-dyed concrete courts lit by florescent bulbs. Preserved as a piece of history, the red concrete is still visible in the walk way between courts 1-5 and 6-10. The public restroom was limited to a single portable unit on the west end of the facility and the proshop was hardly bigger than a closet.
