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 12 hard-surfaced tennis courts along Vine Street are broken up into three 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 by a couple of local high schools.
