About the Location

Tennis Anyone?

At the heart of Lions Park sits an impressive tennis complex featuring twelve connecting hard courts. These courts aren't just your average neighborhood spots - they're well-maintained and many locals consider them some of the best public tennis courts in the Las Cruces area. The courts are neatly separated by waist-high fences, giving each game its own space.

Planning an evening match? No problem. The stadium lights illuminate the courts after sunset, extending your playing time well into the evening. Just keep in mind that these courts are strictly for tennis only, as the posted signs will remind you.

Beyond Tennis

While tennis might be the star of the show, Lions Park offers beyond racquet action. Four handball courts sit right next to the tennis area, perfect if you're looking to mix up your racquet sport routine.

The park stretches across 7.6 acres with some pleasant open grass areas and landscaping throughout. It's primarily known for its courts, but there's enough green space to enjoy other activities if tennis isn't your thing.

Practical Stuff

When nature calls, you'll find basic public restrooms available for park visitors. Need a break between sets? A few picnic tables are scattered around the grounds where you can catch your breath or enjoy a packed lunch.

One of the park's bonus features is Laabs Pool, a swimming facility right on the property. It's a refreshing option, especially when those New Mexico temperatures start climbing.

For the Little Ones

Lions Park includes a clean, regularly maintained playground area where kids can burn off energy. The presence of security helps create a safe environment for families spending time at the park - something parents will certainly appreciate.
