    Unfortunately, I didn't read Nancy and Leo's reviews before I played in a WPA tournament. My…read moreexperience was just as terrible as theirs. You can skip to my summary at the end, or read the details if you like. I should have known something was wrong as soon as I registered. This is no "World Pickleball Association tournament." This is more like "John Gill's tiny pickleball tournament." There was no transparency -- no way to know who else signed up, or even how many others signed up for our event. 3 days before, I got an automated email stating that we would be in the DUPR under 4.00 division, essentially a 3.5 event, not the 3.0 event my wife and I signed up for. I asked the tournament director, John Gill, to withdraw, as this was not appropriate for us. He assured me that there were enough players at our level, that everyone had DUPR ratings under 3.5, or they didn't have ratings. John flat out lied to me. The other players' DUPR ratings were 3.8, 3.6, 3.6, and 3.4 before the tournament. Besides me and my wife, there were only 4 other players under 4.0. These are facts, not my opinion. John knew this, and I think he chose to lie to me because without me and my wife, he would have had to combine all the players (including 4.0+) into one division. We tried to make the most of it. We played the 2 other teams and tried to have fun. Unfortunately, the tournament was utterly disorganized. Want to know why? It's because John played in the tournament, rather than running it! He gave a brief talk at the beginning, and then he was unavailable. There was nobody running the tournament, just one helper writing down scores. After we played a couple games against each team, we waited for someone to tell us what to do next. We waited, and waited, and waited. For about 45 minutes. Finally I interrupted John during a game, and he said that the 2nd place team should play the 3rd place team. I told him we needed help figuring that out, but there was nobody to help us, so we ended up arguging about it. He had one volunteer entering scores, but she had no idea what was going on. One of the other players made a decision, so we went ahead and played the other team, which turned out to be wrong. As I learned the next day through Pickleball Brackets, it was a tricky issue involving the order of the 2nd and 3rd tiebreakers. So we (#3) played the #1 team when we should have played the #2 team, and that was the end of our tournament. We grabbed our 3rd place medals and left. John was still playing. I should also add that the venue (Westgate Hotel, Las Vegas) was disappointing. There were 8 outdoor courts, way too close together, with very little netting or fencing separating the courts. There was no water at the courts, just an empty water jug, so we had to go hunt for it. Snacks consisted of a few bananas and a bag of oranges. There was no swag or anything else to make this tournament remotely worth $70 per person. So here's my summary: 1. There was no organization whatsoever. The supposed tournament director, John Gill, played in the event when he was supposed to be running it. He did not run it at all, and neither did anyone else. 2. John lied to me about our opponents' DUPR ratings. He combined divisions due to low turnout, and our opponents were far above the level we signed up for. There were no other players at our level. 3. The courts were disappointing. Also snacks were poor, and there was no swag, nothing remotely worth $70. Did we have a good time? Well, the weather was nice, and I got to spend time with my wife and play pickleball. We made the most of it. If this sounds like a good tournament to you, then by all means, sign up for the next one. We won't. Addendum: After I posted this review, John Gill called me because he wanted me to take it down. Rather than acknowledging any of my points, he accused me of being a complainer because I lost. I told him that if he disagrees with anything I said in my review, he can respond in writing here. Addendum #2: And there you have it. John replied to my comment, and his disjointed and disorganized response speaks for itself. 3 out of 7 reviews so far are 1 star, because this is how he treats his customers. It is really exasperating talking to a business owner who won't listen to anything you say. If this is what you want, take your chances and play in his tournaments! Addendum #3: Here's an analogy to sum up my experience. Imagine going to a restaurant. The chef, instead of cooking in the kitchen, is eating at a table next to you. There's a guy in the back microwaving food and bringing it out. The customers are all arguing, but the chef insists that his food is excellent. He says, "I volunteer at a homeless shelter, and they like me there!"

    5 stars for a nice rubber track!…read more As an active walker/ runner, I am regularly seeking parks with a track. This was a serendipitous find on the way home from work. Features - The park has ample parking, 1 basketball court (which is also used for pickleball), 2 fitness zones with 10+ different workout equipment , park benches, coal pits, soccer field, padded track, and children's play area. It is very well maintained / clean and the biggest bonus is the rubberized track for me. There's also doggy poop bags too, in case you're walking your dog and forget! You can easily find walkers at 7am here which provides a relatively safe exercise environment. The only possible drawbacks I see is - 1) there is minimal shade, and 2) it is right by horse sables (it is next to the horse race track) 3) the track is relatively small (less than 0.5 miles a lap).

    We LOVE the walking track here! It is well lit. There is always a great energy with people playing…read moreon the fields, using the stationary workout equipment, back court that converts for different sports, and the playground. My only complaint is the playground is truly geared for older kids 2.5-3years + older. I feel with such a large project, the city of Cypress could have added a few other features to make it friendly for under 3yr olds - it's literally only 1 small slide for the littles - no steering wheel to drive, or any features to fidget with, or twist, turn, pull or other. I guess it was the last thing in their budget. All in all, it is a huge upgrade to the city of Cypress and we love walking here and that they have doggy bags for when our pupp finds a couple potty spots.

Don't expect anyone to be there on time! The last 3-4 weeks, consistently 10-20 minutes late (and NO, they don't adjust the time you reserved your court!). For the last year (maybe even longer), the back courts 19, 20, 21 have been reserved for instruction. This past week, our group had been warming up on courts 13-15 (after getting on the courts after 0830). Ten minutes later, Coach Shelly comes over and tells us we have to move because her classes take priority and her reserved courts are wet at the baseline, but we can play on them!! What a joke for a "professional" instructor! For me, this is the last straw! The management of these courts, is incompetent, has no professionalism and should be replaced. Much better courts and people and teaching pros at a facility very close by; sorry but you will have to find them on your own, courts are too crowded! ;-) Too bad these courts are being ruined by Coach Shelly and whomever else is in charge!

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.

Friendly ambience. + Plenty of parking. - Entering the address (1040 Park Ave) on G Maps is slightly misleading. See attached screenshot: follow red arrow to find the pickleball courts. - $30 for 2 hr is exorbitant. - Obscene graffiti on the concrete.

This park is open daily from 5 am to 10 pm and home to tennis enthusiasts, racquetball lovers, softball fans, basketball players, recent pickleball fanatics and families out for a picnic and fun- the grass is plush and green and there is plenty of shade. You can bring your coolers, chairs and tents. I have seen catering trucks drive in right by the courts. This year we have a DJ who will be adding some spice and rhythm to the forehand and backhand volleys. So boomboxes and music systems are permitted. There are 60 free parking spaces and plenty of additional street parking. The 8 three wall racquetball and handball courts are well maintained and swept. The grounds are taken care of as well with ample garbage cans distributed strategically. The trash is picked up regularly. The men's and ladies rest rooms are separate, always open and well maintained. There is also a small branch of a library with limited hours with computers and books located on the edge of the park.
