Practical Information

Best Times to Play

The busiest window is 5 to 7 PM. Midday (11 AM to 2 PM) is reliably open. In summer, arriving before 10 AM keeps you ahead of the heat. Lights make evening play viable year-round.

Playing Tips

Hard courts heat up in summer, so play in the early morning. Bring sunscreen and a hat for daytime play. Water fountains are on-site, but pack extra water for longer sessions.
