My son learned to swim with Pierre within a short period of time. We had attempted lessons at other…read moreplaces before without success. My son was one of the older kids here who didn't know how to swim, so he was self-conscious, but Pierre's expertise and guidance made him comfortable and allowed him to learn without judgment or fear. It was amazing to see him do several different strokes in just a few months time.

I reached out in 2025 to inquire about my daughter's tennis lessons. We were told that she was too…read moreyoung at the time which was fear. She was 3.5 years old and was a bit timid. I then texted Coach Angela after she turned 4 yo because she was showing signs of being interested. We were completely ghosted by Coach Angela. I was a former USTA player and I coached in college for my college's camp so I know a thing a two about coaching tennis and good customer service. Whether you have space to take a child in or not, you should always circle back. In the end of the day, everyone is connected and to one another and I'll say this, Euro Tennis is way better with better customer service than here. I grew up learning to play tennis by my dad. All was self taught through him. We weren't a rich family, but we were raised with values that took us far in life. I don't know what values these tennis coaches have here, but I'll say this.. poor customer service doesn't get very far. My ultimate goal was just to get my 4 yo and soon to be 5 yo to just make friends and get to know the sport that I love very much. I suggest all parents to go to Euro Tennis. Better customer service and lots of options. At Euro Tennis, they accept kids of all kinds. They have patience. And their focus is just making sure the kids have fun. At 5-7 yo, the ultimate goal is to have fun and like the sport.

Norcal tennis academy has done miracles for my brothers and I. We all started going to Norcal when…read morewe were very young because we heard about the intensive drills and practice that shaped extremely talented young players. I joined to improve quickly and enter my highschool's (Bellarmine College Preparatory) varsity tennis team. Both of my brothers had already entered the team after practicing daily at Norcal. I finally had entered the team with my brothers thanks to Norcal. Bellarmine's tennis team is known for its talented players who consistently win WCAL and the competition to enter the varsity team is extremely difficult. The team consists of many utr 10s, 9s, and 8s. I continue to play at Norcal as both of my brothers are in college. Thank you Norcal!

We've been to other places and as nice as the coaches were, lacked the passion and energy Daniel has. He is just as excited to see his students progress as the parents are. The rest of the staff from Coach Tom, Kyle, Fernando, Gaby, Artur and Sherlaine are great as well. Highly recommend, thanks Norcal!

Note the Yelp hours are incorrect and they're closed on Mondays!…read more I showed up on a Monday and the shop was closed but Rick happened to stop by to pick something up. He mentioned they'll be open the following day, but ended up taking my order anyway after asking what I was looking for (on his day off!). I went home and stressed out for 2 days because I was certain I ordered the wrong racket (I tried to do the transaction quickly and didn't even look at the racket since Rick wasn't even supposed to be working so I wanted to get out quickly). No matter how I crunched the numbers, I was certain it could not be the correct racket since my total after strings and tax was $20 below MSRP of the racket alone. I show up to pick up my racket and it was the right one! I was so confused I had to ask Rick about it and he said he never uplifted his prices after Babolat and other retailers increased their prices after tariffs. I came to support a local shop since it's rare for high end and in demand rackets to be sold at a discount. I never would've thought a small shop could've beat these prices. He didn't even tell me he was giving a discount or anything... people unfamiliar with rackets probably don't even understand the crazy deal they're getting. It's so nice to know that even though Rick can charge MSRP (and it would be a wise business decision to do so), he doesn't. I'm still reeling and cannot thank Rick enough. He's honestly such a great guy (I spoke politics with him too) and I hope everyone supports his shop. This experience is honestly exactly why more people should shop local.

Rick has been incredible every time we visit. My son and I have bought shoes and multiple tennis…read morerackets from him, and he always takes the time to explain the differences, make recommendations, and ensure we get exactly what we need. His pricing is honest, his service is excellent, and you can tell he truly loves what he does. If you're looking for a trustworthy tennis shop with great customer care, Rick is the person to see.

Fremont Tennis Center is a fantastic spot for pickleball lovers! There are 4 reservable pickleball…read morecourts that are well-maintained and perfect for those who like to plan ahead. In addition to that, there are about 6 more outdoor courts available for open play, plus two mini courts that are great for drills or warming up. The facility is spacious and well-lit--even in the evenings, visibility is great. One of the best parts is the ample parking, which makes getting in and out super convenient, even during busy hours. Renting a court is very affordable--you can book a 2-hour session for just a couple of bucks, making it accessible for regular play. One thing to note: it can get a little windy, so come prepared, especially if you're playing during the afternoon/night.

This is a community park in Newark. It has big trees and…read morevery shady . I enjoy the morning walk with breeze and sunshine. Many people are enjoying the morning sun ( strollers , wheelchair users, summer campers , basketball players , tennis players etc ) The walking trails are very smooth and pretty landscapes to circle around the park. There are two playgrounds for toddlers and older kids . A dog parks with fence and some dogs slides for fun . A few big dogs are walking around and rest on the lawn . I am lucky enough to capture the hummingbirds and two squirrels running up the tree . There are lots of picnic tables next to BBQ grilled . They have public restrooms. Lots of free parking on the tennis court area and the park entrance area . Everything is so beautiful and I enjoy my leisure walk very much .

Really nice park for children and dogs!…read more They have a good sized dog park with area for small dogs and big dogs. Some climbing structures for the dogs as well. Picnic tables scattered throughout the park, with lots of beautiful trees providing shade over most of the park. There are two adjacent playground areas. One side has a large caterpillar to climb on, along with a dinosaur teeter-totter and baby swings (only, no regular swings) The other side has another big playground structure, along with this rock formation that wraps around it. My kids mainly enjoyed climbing the rock formation that had little 'caves' that they played house in forever! Basketball courts, tennis courts as well. The only awful thing about this park is how absolutely vile the bathrooms smelled, like worse than most porta-potties.
