DC Southeast Tennis and Learning Center expansion

[Anonymous]

The District government is investing $18 million into expanding the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center in Congress Heights, mostly to hold big tournaments. Has anyone played here or had their kids do tennis programming here? Would love to know your experience.

I haven't played at SETLC yet but I heard it is nice. Wish it was a bit more Metro accessible.

The expansion will increase the number of tennis courts from 12 to 19 and add four additional pickleball courts, growing the total from one to five. The current SETLC facility, located at 701 Mississippi Avenue SE, features six indoor tennis courts, six outdoor courts, and community-focused amenities such as a computer lab, library, and fitness room.

The new expansion will complement these offerings with:

Indoor Facilities: Three additional indoor tennis hard courts, spectator seating, locker rooms, and multi-purpose rooms.
Outdoor Facilities: Four new tennis hardcourts, four pickleball courts, a pedestrian bridge linking the sites, and remodeled clay-tech courts for additional pickleball use.
Community Enhancements: A plaza, extensive landscaping, and expanded parking.

I used to play USTA league matches there 6 years ago. I was terrified back then about the crime. No way in hell would I go there now.
