It's along back near Wilson high school. Tennis courts and one side it's also utilize for pickleball. The bigger side of the court was all utilize for tennis. Then there's the smaller section where it was 8 courts for pickleball. The seating was quite nice as it was bleachers so each seat you had a nice view of the courts. It was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon with pretty much all the courts there taken. Both side either for practice, tournament or people having a good time. There was also a baseball field behind the bleachers. Restroom were located under the bleachers. The court itself was quite nice. Very well maintained and all clean. Compared to others I've been, this was great.

Review for the dinosaur playground:…read more Nice job with the theming of the playground, with several unique features including a "fossil dig" sandbox and a climbable T-rex. There's some shaded areas but generally a lot of exposure. There are benches and picnic tables, but these areas are often littered and dirty. The squirrels here are also bold and get uncomfortably close at times. Overall, the playground itself is cool, but the appeal of the park is diminished by many factors other reviewers have already mentioned -- lots of litter, lack of bathrooms nearby, no fence/gate to protect kids from 7th St, and the occasional presence of homeless people.

Highly recommend these courts for pickleball too because there are a lot of courts, friendly players and it's not too advanced of play. Been coming for the last three months and I see the same players all the time. Only downside of playing pickleball here is that the courts close at like 8pm-8:30pm which is actually atrocious. I forget exactly. When I run to the restroom from the tennis/pickleball area, which looks exactly like your average park restroom. I see people on the playground and other pickleball courts (3 in the middle) (2 on side). The track is crowded too! The parking does get full in the evening so you may need to park on the street.

Anyways, from my undergrad experience, the rock climbing wall was one of the best to get people into rock climbing. Secondly, the indoor running track provides space to the overall gym giving it a less crowded environment, and the equipment provided was well utilized. You often had people hogging the weight section so there was never really a good time to use that. The yoga and pilates classes or individual courses were offered but it never seemed to be around when a majority of students were available to use it. I really liked the Robeks that was on the first floor. I'm not sure if it's there anymore, but it's nice to had a large indoor seating area to eat before you actually went into the gym to study.

They have been playing tennis for 3+ years, and initially took lessons to learn the foundations of ground strokes when they first started. Chris is able to take into their current skill levels and efficiently redirect each of my girls towards further development..., taking into consideration that everyone has a different "style" yet should employ a technique that abides to proven methods (as outlined by USPTA) For me, I am not looking for my girls to get a tennis scholarship, but want them to learn and enjoy this great sport with decent proficiency. Being a competent player is what will motivate them to play and enjoy tennis further in their lives. Also, I believe that just hitting and rallying a tennis ball is like hitting golf balls only at the driving range. Regardless of level, one has to play matches in order to fully appreciate and enjoy the game of tennis to its full. Playing in competition (friendly ones at that) gives motivations and desires to improve and seek to "find" answers. I believe that winning and losing in competition (in any level) teaches them life skills and how to cope with the disappointments that are sure to come in their lives. Philosophically, the results of winning can be enjoyed by anyone. It is the lessons of "Tough Loss" that really chisels and develops a person's character. I think tennis is a great teacher of such, more so than "team" sports. The individual loss and "walk" is invaluable to learning about oneself. Overall, this summer was a great experience with Chris. I plan to have my girls play more competitive tennis (one will play for High School), and the lessons with Chris greatly prepared them. Chris is very knowledgeable about his craft, and has that rare ability to transfer not only the "What and the how" parts of tennis, but the "why" behind what he teaches. I took this time to write this review as a result of my appreciation to "good teaching", from one teacher to another. (although a different kind....) John K. 4th Grade Teacher.
