If you don't have the right shoes they have shoe rentals for $5. Price for renting the court is $38/hr if you reserve. They have walk in for $15/person minimum of 2hrs play. But if the court is full then you will have to share the court with other walk in player within that 2hour. Overall it's a nice indoor court. It doesnt get too busy so coming walk in is cheaper. Staff are there to assist if you have any questions.

Very well maintained. Grass was very green. Trees were standing tall and proud offering wonderful shade. Flowers were gorgeous! Lots of people with their family and friends plus their furry friends spending a beautiful and sunny weekend at this park. Plenty of benches for parties and all. Children's playground is available. Libary of Books located at the front of the park. Great place to take a comfortable and relaxing stroll in the early morning or evening when it's cooler. Love to be back for more yoga and nice walks! Street parking is available, but may be limited when there are a lot of people. Come here early if possible.

This park is out of a movie! So pretty, clean, and spacious! Very family oriented and dog friendly!read more

Firstly, I want to thank Jackson who was one of the sales guys and the manager for helping me and…read moretaking care of me when I went into the store. I had called about a week ago in search for a rpm q2 paddle and they told me that they sold out, I asked them could they let me know whenever they come back in stock. Jackson was the person that I spoke with on the phone, and he gave me his personal experience with different paddles and it set and stone made me want the one I got. A week goes by, they tell me that they finally got it in stock and I immediately picked up that same night. I told them I got off at 930, and it would take me about 20 min to get there. Most places would turn me away because they're closing, but this place waited for me and allowed me to make the purchase. Thankfully, Jackson put overgrip on my new paddle and I'm ready to play. The inside of the shop was beautifully built and so bright inside. So many different options, pickleball padle. They told me they offer lessons for their sports. This place will be my go to shop when it comes to pickleball needs. Once again, thank you Jackson and the owner for having excellent customer service

I call The Racket Doctor 'the old school tennis store.' I've been a customer since I first started…read moreplaying tennis which was when I was a little kid, almost 2 decades. I was referred by my coach to this day, I still come in to get restrung. They do a good job restringing and always put a label with the specs. They are fast and call you normally, within a few days maybe even less to pick-up. Their demo program is good. You can demo 1-2 rackets for a week then switch out. If you need a little more time with the rackets, phone in. They are pretty nice about it if you just communicate. I would rate 5 but the reason I put 4 stars is the "hits" and "misses" when I visit, particularly about the customer service and their general inventory. I've had top-class service from Beau previously, and a woman (I forget her name :( but she classifies herself as a hard hitter, heavy racket, and top spin player ha! She showed me how to determine if a racket is engineered to be power or precision rackets just by feeling and looking. They knew their stuff. The misses were when I came in and was offered help separate times, but I was offered not so great recommendations/ recs that were not what I needed, didn't mention some hint of knowledge that they understand different racket and string specs... average customer service of "yea, look around and see what you like. What you see is what we have" Thumbs down. This goes for the shoe section too. Now with their merch, they carry the popular stuff that sells but you can't get a racket in a particular color, underrated racquets, color shoes etc . No service to have the color/model shipped to the store. Also, I always check the sales section but every single time, I can never find my women's size 6/7 (which I know is the most popular shoe size) but I always see HUGE, multiple inventory of sizes like 10, 12, 14...this goes for shoes and clothing. I've never once bought anything at the sales section in my size, ever. They don't carry fun, stylish, likable colors of shoe models, tennis models..clothing like pleated tennis skirts with pockets, there's no current tennis hat or visor options, sweatbands, eyewear in different colors and styles, no cute bear key charms for tennis bag to promote Racket Doctor which I would proudly carry!...even not much color selection for grips. No patterns, no fun colors. I would be purchasing way more if they were more open and just more fun. Pricing is fair for their services. So they are very reliable for stringing service, and demo'ing, getting your usual Tour Bite strings but don't expect to find something in particular.
