The Brownsville Tennis Center was created through the combined efforts of the North Brownsville Park members and the Brownsville Tennis Association to provide public recreational facilities among the finest in South Texas.  Private donations and public funds from the City of Brownsville have provided the community a facility with sixteen courts, viewing stands, bleachers in different parts of the facilities, an office, locker faculties, and a pro shop. Funding and construction of the facilities began in 1996 and the project was completed in 2001 when the facility opened.
