About the Location
Tennis Heaven
If you're a tennis enthusiast in Albuquerque, Jerry Cline Park offers one of the best facilities in the city. With a whopping 18 tennis courts (and 13 of them lit up for evening matches), this park has become the go-to spot for anyone looking to work on their backhand.
The tennis center isn't just courts - it comes complete with a clubhouse staffed by professionals who organize seasonal classes and USTA hosted activities all year long. The courts are impressively well-kept, and you can find locker rooms with showers when you're done sweating it out. Planning to play? Budget around $4 per person for about two hours on the court - not bad for quality facilities.
Kid-Friendly Fun
The playground here is a hit with the younger crowd. It's modern and thoughtfully designed with various play structures catering to different age groups. Kids can explore slides, swings, monkey bars, climbing walls, and a cool rope climbing area. There are even interactive learning sections featuring numbers and braille - a nice educational touch.
The swing selection is particularly impressive: standard swings, baby swings, toddler seat options, and an accessible full back-supported swing for children with disabilities. Parents will appreciate that some playground areas have shade coverings, making those hot New Mexico days a bit more bearable for energetic little ones.
Beyond Tennis
While tennis might be the star attraction, Jerry Cline Park offers plenty of other ways to stay active. There's a spacious grassy area fantastic for impromptu picnics, casual games, or just letting dogs run around (on a leash, of course).
A well-maintained walking path circles the park, offering a nice route for your daily steps or a leisurely stroll. If you're into team sports, you'll appreciate the soccer field and basketball court that round out the recreational options.
Park Layout and Features
Spread across approximately 12 acres near Constitution Avenue and Louisiana Boulevard, this park has a thoughtful layout with several picnic tables (some shaded) and benches scattered throughout for when you need a breather.
One unique feature is the pedestrian bridge spanning I-40, which not only connects different parts of the neighborhood but also offers some pretty spectacular sunset views. Mature trees throughout provide welcome shade in many areas, although be aware that some sections are more exposed to the sun.
The grounds are clean and well-maintained, with good visibility that helps create a safer environment. Its residential location makes it a convenient neighborhood spot, while still being close enough to Winrock Center for some shopping before or after your park visit.
Practical Stuff
You can find the usual amenities like trash cans and dog waste stations for cleaning up after your four-legged friends. Note that public restrooms aren't available in the park itself, but you can access facilities in the tennis center building when needed.
Parking is free and plentiful, but shade for cars is limited. Water stations are available near the tennis area when you need to hydrate. The entire park is dog-friendly - just keep them leashed - and the expansive grassy areas make it an excellent spot for your pup to enjoy some outdoor time with you.
