Positive Reviews:
Ferran: ★★★★
They are in good shape and are reasonably priced. The only problem is that you cannot reserve a court, so you might show up and find out you cannot play. Or you could be playing and need to leave in the middle of a match because someone is waiting and your hour is up.
Michael Talmadge: ★★★★
Nice clean courts. A small fee to play. Not too crowded.
Neutral Reviews:
Hilary Perez: ★★★
Love Elings Park and was excited to use these courts after all the renovations...BUT unfortunately, they are not free to use, and you have to make reservations to use them whether you’re a member or not. Kind of a hassle for people who don’t play seriously and just want to drop in for an hour on a Sunday afternoon. Unless you’re a serious player, memberships are expensive too, at $89 per person per month. Guess we’ll stick to the free ones around town instead, unless Elings Park makes them cheaper or more accessible for people who just want to play once in a while.
Eric Kirsch: ★★★
Still some leftover scum grabbing courts like in the old days. Which will be finished first - the 101 of the L.P. courts?
Negative Reviews:
Sharpy Axcell: ★
Highly recommend going somewhere else. Park staff issues and poorly managed.
