10M· 2 years agoTwo courts total. Outer netting is falling apart, but still mostly functional. Have lines for pickleballs, good for pickleballers, but not for tennis players. Kind of distracting. There are pickle ball nets with wheels. Pickleballers tend to leave them in the middle of tennis court after use. Very inconsiderate. In order for us to play, we need to move them out of the court. It's a hassle.
Teena Muma· 2 years agoWe go here for my granddaughters softball practice, and I see kids and adults playing different sports. They have really nice fields for each. Nice location.
