City of Kearney Announces Ernest Grundy Tennis Center

The City of Kearney Parks & Recreation Department is excited to announce the upcoming opening of the new Ernest Grundy Tennis Center. The 62,000-square-foot facility is slated to open in the spring of 2022 on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Kearney.

The center will be operated by the Kearney Parks & Recreation Department and will feature six indoor courts with mezzanine spectator seating. It will also offer office space, conference rooms and locker room space for the UNK women’s tennis team.

This new facility will provide year-round tennis access to the public, making it easier to get the community more involved. 

The Intercollegiate Tennis Association also recently announced the Ernest Grundy Tennis Center as the host site of the 2023 and 2024 ITA Division II Men’s and Women’s National Team Indoor Championships. 

Along with the opening of the center, Kearney Parks & Recreation is looking for a Tennis Center Manager to oversee the facility after its grand opening. This person must be passionate about tennis and should have prior coaching experience. This position will be responsible for developing, planning and implementing year-round tennis programs, leagues and events for youth and adults.
