Positive Reviews:
Jamie Cheung: ★★★★★
Great courts which are usually full at noon and in the afternoon, so I would recommend coming here early in the morning. There are also a few walls for hitting exercises (you could also play squash with them). Overall, it is a great neighbourhood tennis court.
Ray Tang: ★★★★★
Courts are very fast. Lots of play grounds for kids. Also have six pickleball courts.
Robert George: ★★★★★
Great tennis facility. It gets busy on the weekends. The backboards are nice but a little narrow. There's a clean restroom next to the courts.
Dan Clark: ★★★★
This review is actually for the 6 dedicated pickleball courts. Lights were recently changed from sodium vapor to LED, so all 6 courts can be used at night. A very warm and welcoming group of players, with a wide range of skills, so it's pretty easy to find your level. It can get crowded, tho'. Maybe someday we'll be able to turn the two tennis courts into 7 more dedicated PB courts.
Anthony Brittis: ★★★★
Pretty good courts for a public facility. They can get dirty at times because of the nearby pine trees.
JL Brunett: ★★★★
Good free courts but it's always been too crowded without any reliable and fair reservation system. Therefore you must come either very early, or late at night. You get what you pay for :)

Very, very crowded tennis courts. Can wait up to 90 minutes per place in line, and only 4 courts available. Lights are quite dim.
