We signed up to play a tournament this weekend (8/21/21) and randomly got our draw CANCELLED 2 days…read morebefore the tournament. Our draw was cancelled late so we were then unable to signup for singles as well, and since it's 2 days before the weekend, we were unable to signup for any other tournaments! Completely ruined our plan for this weekend and we'd been looking forward to playing in a competitive match, but it was not to be. There was no conversation prior to the cancellation, and no suggestion to allow us to register for singles, but just straight up woke up to not being in the draw and then the director Calvin saying there's nothing he could do! Well why didn't he let us know BEFORE so that we could register for singles or register for another tournament? Completely unprofessional.

Calvin is the ultimate professional. He is very knowledgeable, great with young adults, great work…read moreethic, positive, organized, hard working, just an overall great Tennis Coach/Trainer. I have sent both my daughters and my son to Calvin for coaching. All three of them LOVED going to training thanks to Calvin. His upbeat, positive attitude made my kids enjoy tennis that much more. His tournaments are run smoothly and efficiently. Weather is the only thing that affects any of his tournaments, which is totally out of his control. OVERALL, if you're thinking about getting your kids into tennis, or get their game improved, look no further....... CALVIN is your guy!!!!!!! Mark

Pickleball! I love that this park has 14 courts mostly available for drop ins. Yes there are…read moretimes when there are classes so there can be a short wait. When the courts are full, there isn't an easy system for getting on so you put your paddles on a court you hope will open up. It's awkward and folks don't like to get off after their game so a better system would help. Despite this, for me, these courts are my favorite. They are well maintained and there is usually plenty of parking, clean bathrooms in the community center and folks are generally nice.

The Heather Farms courts are fine, this is a review of the club itself…read more Pros: cheap. Allegedly lots of members (over 800). Cons: my application to their summer league didn't go through smoothly, but I wasn't told that until it was too late to join. So I joined the club itself. After 3 weeks of being a member, despite numerous attempts, I could not find a single person to play against. When I cancelled my membership and gave them constructive criticism about what I thought was wrong with their process, they decided instead to somehow make it about me. Sorry WCRC, it's your loss.

I am very happy with the improvements I have seen in my son's tennis skills in such a short period of time and I am so incredibly thankful to him for that. He is the reason my son was able to make it into his high school tennis team with such limited experience.  You can see clearly how much he values each one of his students, he is constantly observing them and correcting even the slightest mistakes to help hone their tennis skills. I am very glad to have him as my son's tennis coach.  I highly recommend coach Tom, and I assure you that you will learn a lot and have a great time learning tennis with him.

Good to have a 4 person seesaw, 4 big kid's swings, big hammock under the play structure for shade. Benches were in mostly shade under smartly positioned trees during 2-3p in June!

It's the perfect spot for a picnic, a party, a walk, for dogs, to take your kids... just about everything! Lots of big grassy fields and tall trees that provide a ton of shady areas. There are tons of kids play areas with slides, swings, and other rides that I'm still trying to figure out?! Yeah... some of those rides look a little strange, but I digress... They have picnic tables galore! You can reserve one of the picnic areas for special events and parties. The last time I was here, someone was throwing a party for their little girl here. It's truly the best spot to do it at! You have a grill and so many tables to host people. This park is connected to a small swim center that has a pool and the most adorable little water slides! It's a hop and a skip away from the Lindsay Wildlife museum. There's a basketball, tennis, and volleyball court on site and restrooms are easily accessible. What I love about this park is that one of my favorite walking and hiking trails runs right through it: the Briones to Mount Diablo Trail! You can park at Larkey Park and take this trail all the way to Acalanes Ridge and even to the backside of Briones Regional Park! It's apart of Walnut Creek open space. There are a few other local walking trails that connect here as well. On nice sunny days, this park fills up with a ton of locals but it never feels overcrowded. Sometimes they have community activities that can be seen on their posted calendar. There's a small parking lot off of 1st and Buena Vista Street but there's also plenty of street parking on many of the side streets. It's a great local park with tons of activities.

A nice walking path goes through the good-sized park, offering wonderful views of the lush lawn and large mature trees. A host of families with their young children were enjoying the playground areas, and locals with their canine companions were out too. A few picnic tables are available, or - as one young woman did - just spread out your towel and have lunch on the lawn. After walking for a while we found a bench near the edge of the park and just vegged out soaking up the sun. A swim center and nice pool is here, although it looks like it's only used in the summer for recreational and limited lap swimming - an under-used facility in my mind. Why not year-round lap swimming? Next door is the Lindsay Wildlife Museum, and although it was closed (open Weds-Sun), a young docent had a red tailed hawk with her and was giving a nice educational spiel. There is no dedicated parking - the one negative. Street parking nearby or in the neighborhoods is the only alternative.
