A friendly group and an assortment of activities that encourage social play. For the more competitive players, they compete against other clubs with both a mens and woman's teams. The are often round robin and social events for all levels. Not a fancy club house just your basic changing room in need of upgrade. Bottom line is if you haven't experienced playing on red clay you're missing lots of fun that's easy on the legs. Check it out they have a few open house events throughout the season at no charge. http://berkeleyclay.com/

It's a good venue for a smaller wedding, but for the middle school kids, they didn't appreciate it as much (they complained it was their parents' style, not cool!). So much for appreciating the work that the PTO does. They do have some outdoor seating (couldn't use with the snow), a back area with seats/tables, a check-in area and coats were too many - they ended up on racks in the hallway. Probably better to do a spring/summer/fall event here when there are less heavy jackets. Food was good, though simple, per the kids - pasta was good, the sliders a bit off, and the cheese & charcuterie was not bad. DJ in the party was definitely loud enough (good acoustics for pop music, at least). Supposed to be the second oldest tennis club in NJ, and after a change in leadership in 2018, has revitalized itself into a family and event space along with tennis.

The party spanned throughout several rooms, each offering a bar and either hors d'oeuvres or the buffet dinner. The food quality was mixed, as I had bites of heavily under-cooked pasta, but the make-your-own taco bar was the fresh and delicious highlight. My friends were able to hire a live band, and the four members had plenty of room, as did the dancing guests. We did not stay long, so I cannot comment on many of the other items, but, overall, we thought it was a fantastic venue.

There's a time limit on parking, and there are a few small shops a block away. Otherwise, there's not much distraction here if you're just waiting. The tennis courts themselves are in decent shape, and a pleasure in which to practice your aces. Tennis, anyone?

There are also tennis courts and an open field. Cute park!

Unlike some of the other parks and playgrounds in the area that are brimming with little people and their caregivers at all hours, this spot somehow manages to fly under the radar a bit. It's modest, offering a playground area for both little tots and bigger children, as well as two fenced-in tennis courts, a baseball field and plenty of open, grassy space. As far as these things go, this is one of my favorite go-to spots when the kids need to release some energy or just goof off for a while.

So, in reality it's a superb neighborhood park with playground equipment geared toward kids age 2-12, a single tennis court and a large grassy area often used as a soccer field but also good for lounging, frisbee or jumping jacks. There's a paved asphalt oval around the field, which is great for running track, and entrances from three sides. It also makes a great shortcut, depending on your commute, and a birthday party location, weather permitting. There are also public restrooms, which are usually open and this year smelled mostly of cigar smoke, which is why it gets four stars instead of five. Overall, though, it's a fine place to tire out your children!
