Our draw was cancelled late so we were then unable to signup for singles as well, and since it's 2 days before the weekend, we were unable to signup for any other tournaments! Completely ruined our plan for this weekend and we'd been looking forward to playing in a competitive match, but it was not to be. There was no conversation prior to the cancellation, and no suggestion to allow us to register for singles, but just straight up woke up to not being in the draw and then the director Calvin saying there's nothing he could do! Well why didn't he let us know BEFORE so that we could register for singles or register for another tournament? Completely unprofessional.

When the courts are full, there isn't an easy system for getting on so you put your paddles on a court you hope will open up.

The Heather Farms courts are fine, this is a review of the club itself…read more Pros: cheap. Allegedly lots of members (over 800). Cons: my application to their summer league didn't go through smoothly, but I wasn't told that until it was too late to join. So I joined the club itself. After 3 weeks of being a member, despite numerous attempts, I could not find a single person to play against. When I cancelled my membership and gave them constructive criticism about what I thought was wrong with their process, they decided instead to somehow make it about me. Sorry WCRC, it's your loss.

I am very happy with the improvements I have seen in my son's tennis skills in such a short period of time and I am so incredibly thankful to him for that.

A lot of Oaks and deciduous trees enhance the walk and made the change of seasons noticeable. Later, I switched from walking to swimming in their fabulous Olympic sized pool. I'd dash over at lunch for a quick swim and shower before heading back tingling with energy. I came back for the first time in a while yesterday and meandered around the park. A flat, unpaid walking trail circles the park for a 10 minute walk, which can be extended for as many revolutions as you want. It's a lovely walk, especially popular for locals; the trees were changing this day, brightening my mood in spite of the clouds. School sounds from children playing in the nearby elementary lent an air of innocence. People were swimming in the pool, in spite of the cool, damp day; the pool is open year-round. Swim fees are flexible as you can pay either by the swim, with a multiple swim or monthly card, and rates are slightly reduced for residents/seniors. Several large tennis courts were active, even late morning on a weekday. The nice children's playgrounds were empty. Several picnic areas are available for reservation. Nearby neighbors are fortunate to have neighborhood Park entrances on both the East and West sides. One minus, not the park's fault, but phone connectivity can be limited in the park. At least for T-Mobile, I had zero connectivity except near the tennis courts. But maybe we should be enjoying the park - not our phones - while here!

They have a swimming pool (which im not sure if it's open to the public) but they were having a swim meet. Although there was no parking (on other days its super easy) I was able to find street parking right next to the park. There is a lot of grass area at this park which I love, tables,benches, grills and lots of trees. The park looks decent for children. There are plenty of tennis courts and the floors are a little cracked but not too bad. Overall, i would definitely recommend this park if youre looking to go for a run, play tennis, have a weekend party or just to relax. Theres always a lot of families and kids that come here dogs are welcome too

A nice walking path goes through the good-sized park, offering wonderful views of the lush lawn and large mature trees. A host of families with their young children were enjoying the playground areas, and locals with their canine companions were out too. A few picnic tables are available, or - as one young woman did - just spread out your towel and have lunch on the lawn. After walking for a while we found a bench near the edge of the park and just vegged out soaking up the sun. A swim center and nice pool is here, although it looks like it's only used in the summer for recreational and limited lap swimming - an under-used facility in my mind. Why not year-round lap swimming? Next door is the Lindsay Wildlife Museum, and although it was closed (open Weds-Sun), a young docent had a red tailed hawk with her and was giving a nice educational spiel. There is no dedicated parking - the one negative. Street parking nearby or in the neighborhoods is the only alternative.

However, we did notice a couple of things. The park is pretty decent sized for an urban park. Lots of grass, trees, picnic tables on one side of the street. There is also a public pool (closed while we were there) and an unisex restroom that was reasonably clean. There were individuals, couples and groups of people enjoying the park. In one area were some musicians with guitars and possibly other instruments. We don't know they were there for practice or a class but when we arrived, one person was playing a song that sounded quite good on acoustic guitar. We also saw others who were picnicking with a dog in tow. Everyone was pretty mellow. The dogs didn't bark, and no one was playing excessively loud music. What could make the experience better for us? We didn't fully explore the park so we don't know exactly how large it is but we're always fans of parks with dog play areas. They don't have to be large, but they do need to be clean with running water and some shade. Plus, there should be separate areas for large and small dogs. Beyond that, locals should feel lucky to have such a nice park to relax in.
