For a while, it would not allow me to log in. It kept sending me a link to use to log in and reset my password. Then the next time I tried to log in using the reset password, the same thing would happen again. Now, it would not even send me an altertative link so I could not log in at all. Their pros are another issue. I've tried to contact two of their pros to set up private lessons. Both pros did not bother to respond to me email.

I have seen 68 on the bus stop stickers however know nothing about that bus because I never use it. The park opens up off of Ruddle Rd with a nice walkway. There is a small pond like yet cleaner water way immediately on your left as you stroll through the opening of the park. Some water fowl eagerly await to greet the average walker. Did I say eagerly awaiting water fowl and average walker?? Well look out!! Some of those water fowl are protecting THEIR home so be ready to hustle your bustle ye average walker!! If not, you just might get pecked and encouraged by a fowl or two to step firmly and quickly away from them and walk on your way through the park. After all, some of nature's joys are best observed in their own habitats. The park is large and kept clean. It certainly is its own invitation to frequent this wonderful nest for animals and humans alike. There are restrooms, kept clean and an area where you can get poo bags for "Fido" in case you need them. The grass is so green and plush. Kept nice, mowed and trimmed. Lots of places to kick a ball around. Trees are blooming so for me, that means another trip to this wonderful park!! I am curious to smell what I have yet to see.

I have…read moreolder boys 7 & 8, they have had lessons at our local YMCA over the years but with no real success. The first 3 days of our 10 day lessons my sons made such great improvements. I'm only rating the experience with lessons. Since I'm not a member and didn't use the facility personally I don't think it would be fair to judge them on anything else. The instructors were young but patient. They made my kids comfortable and were encouraging. My kids had such great confidence which they never had before. They staff were friendly and everyone seemed professional for a very young staff. The facility was appreared clean. I wish I found them sooner.

TLTC has been so great for our family. After 18 months on the waitlist, we paid our initiation fees…read moreand have never regretted it for a second. There are two permanent indoor courts and 6 beautiful outdoor courts. During the winter, 4 of the 6 outdoor courts are put under bubbles for 6 total winter courts. Membership is capped so that court availability is excellent (thus, the waitlist). The pool is very nice and surrounded by nice gas grills and tables. During the summer, everyone grills and enjoys the pool and the weather. There is a dedicated Pickleball Court, a playground, and a full gym, which currently includes a club Peleton membership and two Peleton bikes.. The people at TLTC are great. I've made great, lifelong friends since we joined in 2017. TLTC has USTA tennis teams at just about every level and frequently sends teams to Sectionals and, sometimes, Nationals. The club supports these team, paying for team away court fees to encourage participation. The club also has a rich history. The club was originally formed in 1890 and has been at the current location since 1903. The old photos as you walk in make you feel a part of something special. If you're looking for a club in the South Sound and are considering TLTC, don't hesitate. The waitlist can be long, but the wait is worth it!

The clubhouse at Tacoma Lawn is nice, and the locker rooms look great. But the rest of the club is…read morebelow average. It survives because it's the only higher end tennis facility in Southwest Washington. They have 4 indoor courts, 2 of which are in a bubble. The lighting is good, but you can find much nicer at equally priced clubs. So, it's really only worth the money in the summer when you can use their outdoor courts. By comparison, the club I joined also has a 4 court facility. It also has much lower initiation, but still maintains decent membership cap to ensure court availability. Tacoma Lawn has a gym and much better locker rooms, but the club I joined has nicer courts in every single possible aspect. It also has as nice an outdoor pool. So compared to tennis clubs in Bellevue or Seattle, Tacoma Lawn falls way short. For the price of initiation and dues at Tacoma Lawn, you could join Bellevue Club, and have significantly nicer everything (huge indoor pool, much nicer indoor courts, awesome basketball courts, a more modern gym, cooler member facilities). But since Tacoma Lawn only has to compete against Lakewood and Sprinker, it has a market for itself. Also, in my opinion, the people at Bellevue Club are nicer and more laid back. If I lived in Tacoma, I'd just play at Sprinker on weeknights, and use the money saved from dues to drive up to Boeing Tennis, or a better club in Bellevue.

This alone is a benefit because it is less harsh on my skin and I don't feel itchy all the time. Plus the chlorine smell isn't in everything we bring home. BTAC also has space and flexibility. You aren't dodging people or waiting in line for the mass of people to let you in. Our suggestions are taken seriously instead of the 'Its not my job' answers I always got at the Y. They have kids programs and events, and loaner rackets and goggles for anyone in need. The lifeguards are super nice! And help swimmers outside of class when they are around. I will say, the club does need some updating in the locker rooms, and some other areas, but I'm happy with our experience so far.
