Named for John L. Wood, who coached a variety of sports
at Wesleyan during his tenure from 1941 through 1970, including
basketball, golf, football and a two-year stint as head men's tennis
coach in 1949 and 1950, the 16 hard-surfaced tennis courts along Vine
Street are broken up into four banks for four courts each. The
courts are used by both the men's and women's teams for practice and
matches as well as a local high school.
