Nestled on the Southside of the city, adjacent to the lively chatter of the zoo, lies a tennis aficionado's paradise: the City Park Tennis Complex. This gem is more than just a series of courts; it's an oasis for tennis lovers, maintained with a passion that's as evident as the lines on its well-kept surfaces.
The moment you step into the complex, you're greeted by the pristine condition of the courts. The nets are taut and perfectly aligned, as if waiting eagerly for the next serve. The courts are a vibrant green, a stark contrast to the urban sprawl, and so well-maintained that it feels like stepping onto the stage of a Grand Slam.
One of the most charming aspects of this complex is its location. Positioned near the zoo, players are often treated to a curious soundtrack of distant animal calls, adding an exotic twist to their games. It's not unusual to hear the distant chatter of monkeys, which, surprisingly, adds to the concentration rather than detracting from it.
The facilities are top-notch. Clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything you need for a day of play. When staffed for events they are not just employees; they are enthusiasts who share your love for the game, always ready with a tip or two to improve your backhand.
Another delightful feature is the surrounding greenery. The courts are framed by lush trees and water features, providing a serene backdrop and a much-needed shade on sunny days. The air is fresh, a welcome respite from the city's hustle and bustle.
What sets this complex apart is the sense of community. Regulars and newcomers alike are welcomed with open arms. Whether you're a seasoned player or someone who's just picked up a racket, there's a sense of belonging here.
The City Park Tennis Complex is a haven for tennis lovers.

It's not just a place to play; it's a place where the sport is celebrated in every...

BUT, a lot of the old buildings are falling into disrepair which is a shame, our history should be preserved as best as possible and some things (like the bridge) would be gorgeous to see in a pristine state. My only irk is when my husband and I went to play badminton at the tennis courts we were turned away because we weren't playing tennis? We were wearing tennis shoes and I don't think a badminton birdie could damage ANYTHING on the courts, so I really didn't understand this at all. (If somebody could explain please do!) So despite some sort of racket sports hierarchy, it's a really...
