Practical Information

Best Times to Play

Early mornings between 6 and 8 AM stay quiet, with short wait times. Weekends fill up fast, above all Saturday mornings. Midday from 11 AM to 2 PM tends to have open courts. In summer, play before 10 AM to dodge peak heat. Lighting extends play into winter evenings.

Parking is available on site. The park is reachable by public transit and has bike access and nearby walking paths.

Playing Tips

Plan your shots around the wind. Bring sunscreen and a hat for daytime play. Water fountains are on site, though you should pack extra water for longer sessions.
