Centro Deportivo Chapultepec (Tennis) Verified listing

Centro Deportivo Chapultepec is a large, mostly outdoor tennis facility in Mexico City (Polanco / Anzures area), forming part of a broader sports club that includes many other sports. It has 11 tennis courts plus the main stadium court (Estadio Rafael “Pelón” Osuna) used for big events like the Mexico City Open. Some of the courts are covered (with roofs/light structures) so you can use them even in less than ideal weather or at night under lights. The courts are clay surface (for many of them, especially the main ones) which affects how the ball bounces and how play feels (slower, more sliding etc.).

The centre operates every day: Monday to Friday from about 06:00 to 21:00, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from about 07:00 to 18:00. You need to reserve courts ahead of time (there is an app and also via their tennis office (“Capitanía de Tenis”)) whether for free play or lessons. There are options for group/individual lessons or academy training with cost. It also hosts tournaments (junior, professional Challengers etc.), so availability may change around such events.

You’ll need your own racket and balls. For non‑members or first‑time users, there may be membership or visitor fees; the courts are better quality in the main stadium & premium courts. Dress code is standard tennis apparel. Facilities include locker rooms, showers, a pro‑shop, possibly restaurant/cafeteria, and parking (though the parking may have separate charges). Because of clay and outdoor exposure, humidity and weather can influence conditions: mornings are cooler, afternoons hotter, rain or dew might affect play, so it’s good to check weather in advance and book early in the day.
