TENNIS
As far as sport in Medellin is concerned, tennis has recently become a passion for me and there are excellent clay courts at Estadio. Estadio (Stadium) is as you'd imagine a venue for a number of different sporting leagues and clubs.
At Estadio you will find the best tennis store in Medellin called Liga de Tenis located at:
Liga Antioquenia de Tenis de Campo
Calle 49 No.73-04
Mon – Fri 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Sat 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
| This is where the pros and instructors go, the pricing is good and the wonderful couple who run the store are helpful and knowledgeable. (Their son has a full scholarship to study in the US while pursuing a tennis career so they know a thing or two about the sport) |
You can buy or have rackets restrung and they carry a good selection of specialized tennis equipment.
This is also one of the best places to play or have tennis lessons in Medellin.
