The Wilson Evans Tennis Complex houses ten separate playing courts and is the home of both the Berea College men's and women's tennis teams.  The courts are also used frequently by the College's physical education department and patrons of the Seabury Center.  The courts are also available to the general public for recreational use and are a popular spot for the community's local tennis enthusiasts.

In the summer of 2012, the courts were resurfaced with the Premier Court ® surface coating.  This new coating is designed to reduce injuries and provide consistency of player performance with a state-of-the art, all-weather, cushioned surface.  The facility features a Musco lighting system on the back five courts to allow for evening practice and play.
