I have a love-hate relationship with the PRP Tennis Courts. On one hand, they are great and I am…read moreglad the city has them, but on the other hand, trying to get a court here can get a little dicey. Probably due to the shortage of courts the city already has, this place is great, but can get super busy. USTA leagues and tennis ladders reserve certain courts too, so it only leaves the four bottom courts open for free-play. We had a make-up USTA doubles match here a while ago and we had reserved the court, but it appears that people really stick to the printed schedule (I assume once a week), but thank goodness for my smart phone - I was able to pull up the reservation confirmation and the guys finally got off the court we rightfully reserved in the first place. They were nice about it, but super shady at the same time (they thought they could work the system - which totally sucks, but I guess it happens). Aside from the busy schedule, there are bathroom facilities here and lights for the courts. I wish I had the luxury of not having a day job so that I don't have to fight everyone and their brother to get a court, but that's just the way it is...

I've been taking my kids to Clarks Creek since it opened. While this park does have some pluses…read morethere are minuses. The bathrooms are almost always nasty, they either don't have toilet paper or don't have paper towels to dry your hands. If it's the summer time and you're taking your kids for the splash pad, bring water shoes. The floors are disgusting. The trashes get overflown and the flies are everywhere. I don't know who thought it was a great idea to have metal slides with no shade but if it's a peak summer day, you're not gonna want your kids going down those slides, especially if they've got shorts on, their butts will get fried. Also, not sure whose idea it was to have the wooden rocking toy thing for kids because those did not last long. The handles broke after a year. When it comes to usable things for kids to play on at this park, the options are extremely limited. I would've loved to see something that kids could actually climb on and slide from that wasn't meant to be poor installation art. The main thing our kids do when we're there is swing on the only two swings climb up in the big web net thing and roll down the turf hill. The only well-kept areas in this park are the Pickleball courts and the dog park. There's definitely ample parking. There's a community garden that you can look at. If you come at the right time when the figs are ripe, you can pick them right off the tree so that's nice.

We have been customers of Charlotte tennis for years and have been very happy there. Until…read morerecently, when it was bought out by Sports Connection and turned into a complete disaster. My oldest son is in the Allstars academy and does clinics there, you have to buy a package or pay $20 more a clinic. So, we usually buy a package of 10 for $600. You are also made to pay an initiation fee per child when you join, that fee is $200 per year per child. Packages were always active for 12 months until recently without notice, they changed that date to 3 months. No emails and no advance notice. They also turned all of the inside tennis courts to pickleball courts, again no notice. When we signed my oldest back up at the beginning of this year and paid the $200, no one told us the courts had changed to pickleball. This means when it rains, clinics are cancelled. This summer, it rained a lot and a ton of clinics were cancelled last minute. They also changed the app to where you can not schedule clinics out, you have to wait until a few days prior. Again, just another tactic to take people's money as they can't schedule things in advance. My youngest also takes lessons here for 30 minutes and has been happy until recent changes and the fact that we can hardly schedule lessons due to rain and cancellations. My son has tried to use all of his clinics that we were told to buy for the summer because "he would have time to use them before summer was over". Our instructor knew that he would be gone for over a month during the summer. Then when we returned, they kept cancelling clinics due to rain. We asked for the package to be extended and they declined. When I asked to speak to a manager, they called me on speaker and acted like they were doing me a favor by listening to me. They also informed me that now packages would expire in 2 months and cost more money. I asked them how all of these things were communicated in the past year and they said email. The app has no communications on it since Feb of this year. This company does not care about kids or parents, they have demonstrated that this past year. Continuously make it hard to get to clinics, changing the time clinics are offered and changing the length you can use them. I have asked for them to refund the remainder of our package and they have declined. I am writing this review in hopes that no one else has to be treated this way at this business.

My husband & I enjoy the tennis, esp. the clay courts. I started with the beginner lessons but played singles for a Weddington team at a USTA Southeastern Tournament last summer. Tennis lessons and socials are affordable, friendly, and fun. You can play on the level you desire. You don't have to be a member to take lessons. Mike Murphy is pleasant & runs the club which boasts affordable annual fees. (Since we joined, the club has updated bathrooms, the pool area, added tennis courts and another outside bathroom and viewing area.)

Even batting cage facilities like this in Charlotte don't have a golf simulator, Pickle ball, fitness classes, basketball, HITTRAX and an indoor soccer area all in one spot! Not to mention they have a lounge area with a big TV to keep you entertained while your waiting on your son or daughter to get in the reps they need. You can rent out time slots for various training areas, or even schedule to have your team use the facility. We showed up a half hour before they closed and the parking lot was packed with cars. I thought there was no way anyone would be there on a late Wednesday night, boy was I wrong! They currently have some weekend events of small group training with local professionals for Softball/Baseball. Friday nights they have 'Fun Nights' for the youth to come have pizza and watch a movie or enjoy the various parts of the facility while the parents hang out or they can go out for a dinner date for a couple hours. (Imagine that, a date with your wife!) Forget Chucky Cheese, you can even rent out the facility for a birthday party! I was able to chat with owners for a little bit and they are awesome locals who just had a dream to do this and the opportunity presented itself. I'm excited to see what happens in the future for them and I'm glad we have such a great resource for the youth and college players locally to use. I hope they continue to grow and someday even offer equipment sales, even if its a small selection of accessories such as bat grip, gloves, etc. that would be great!
