I play basketball every weekend at Howard part. Run back some good games with many friendships forged. The courts are clean and only one basket is really the key one though. Not too short, too high, and doesn't rattle, it's juussssst right.

Our group has been coming to this facility for weeks. We're all local employees working at companies downtown, and we've consistently paid the $5 entry fee, which is advertised as a daily fee—not hourly. Today, for the first time, we were kicked off the court mid-game—with only two points left—because an hour had passed since the first person in our group arrived. We weren't even allowed to finish the match. What made this more disappointing is that other groups with more people who arrived at the same time were allowed to continue playing. The enforcement of rules felt selective and unfair. As regulars who live and work locally, this was a really frustrating experience. If the $5 fee only covers an hour, that should be made clear. We hope policies will be clarified and applied consistently going forward, this experience has discouraged our group from coming back.

I take my kid here most week days after school. She likes it because it's a park where kids visit that's close to home. No complaints on my part.

It’s great place to play tennis and pickle ball. But there is this lady who kicked us off the court stating we had an hour time limit even though we go all the time and we pay for the daily passes, on top of that not everyone in our group was playing that long some of us shortly arrived and only played for like 20 minutes . I’m okay with sharing the court especially when full but we were never asked to share. We were told to just leave in the near end of the match and not allowed to finish because “we need to honor the system” and let others play. But let me reiterate the fact that no one came up to us to ask if they have next game. It was very disheartening and makes us hesitate to come back just for being nervous about being kicked off again.

Coach Mark is great. He was very kind and generous with his time and gave me some great pickleball tips. Thx Coach Mark! You Rock
