Tennis Center at the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex!
The Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex (STPC) is a public facility operated by Court Sports 4 Life (CS4L). CS4L is a nonprofit established in 2019, to manage the day-to-day operations of the Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex, plan for the future of facility, and make courts and activities affordable to Steamboat area visitors and guests.
STPC is nationally acclaimed as a public recreational treasure for its facilities and programs. The new Pickleball Center and soon-to-be-upgraded Tennis Center is already providing everyone with more ways to enjoy quality recreation with family and friends, leading to improved mental and physical health, increased sense of community and, of course, fun!
The Steamboat Springs Tennis Complex has served the Steamboat Springs community for over 30 years, winning several national USTA and industry awards for the quality of its facilities, programs, coaching and customer service, yet today, is in need of a dire refresh. Cost estimates to refresh the Tennis Center are between $2M - $3M, with needed repairs including replacing the exterior Tennis membrane that was installed in 2005, replacing the HVAC system, failed insulation and lighting, resurfacing indoor tennis courts, and refreshing the Welcome Center, including front desk area, pro shop, locker rooms, and mezzanine.
The facilities expansion project, completed in July 2024, brought 12 brand-new indoor pickleball courts to the community, helping to keep up with the extremely high demand! This expansion project is funded entirely through private donations and NO TAX DOLLARS are being used! We also are turning our attention to the Tennis Bubble itself, which needs some improvements, such as a new membrane, improved HVAC system, better lighting and upgraded lobby area. All of these improvements will allow us to increase programs for youth, adults, seniors, under-resourced families, and adaptive athletes.
The past year has been exemplary, and achievements include the following:
- Complex awarded USTA Premier Facility and RSI Facility of the Year
- Meg Tully, Executive Director of the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex, appointed as new Executive Director in April 2024
- Outreach to 3,000 kids in local schools with tennis and pickleball programs
- 4,496 new players came to the Complex
- 6 outdoor tennis courts rebuilt
- 8 new outdoor pickleball courts built
- New pickleball building opened!
- 28 parking spaces added
- High school tennis teams shine in regional and state competitions
- STPC in the news! Extraordinary recent press here
Your donations will help us achieve more with all of these great programs and efforts. Please help us continue making the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex better than ever before for our entire community!
