After being disappointed by the selection at Academy and Dick's, we were hesitant to check this place out after finding it on Google. Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Shoes, clothing, racquets, bags, stringing services, and a ton of other accessories - they've got it all! Racquet demo is great, no fees, can keep racquets for a decent amount of time (we chose 2 weeks). Stringing can be same day turn around if needed, which is fantastic. The staff is VERY knowledgeable and helpful. No pushy sales people here. They want you to find the best equipment and products to fit your needs. We were thoroughly impressed with this tennis shop and will be back quite often! Wish they carried Nike products, at least the clothing, but that's just me and my brand loyalty haha.

They now have 6 lit courts, 1 unlit court, a new backboard, and a Pro shop & lounge.

Great little find on the Northside for tennis players (skilled, beginner & children) at the Clanzel…read moreT. Brown park. Well maintained grounds and plenty of courts. Beat wall available for those playing alone and a playground nearby for the kids that don't want to play on the 4 mini courts. Looks like they are in the process of resurfacing some of the existing asphalt courts which will be really nice when all finished. There are no clay courts here. I haven't heard the best of things about this neighborhood and I could kind of see why as I played this morning. There was a lot of police activity nearby and it's definitely not in the best part of town. But I felt perfectly safe being here in the morning daylight and the tennis courts themselves + the surrounding grounds were very clean and well maintained. There's a train track that runs directly next to the park and tennis complex which did disturb my game but only for a few minutes. There is a sign near the parking lot indicating times where a Tennis Pro is available and when they take their lunches but it seems to be outdated because the facility was a complete ghost town this morning. Restrooms and lockers were locked up. They could have been closed for the resurfacing or something but I'm betting they don't staff these parks anymore due to budget cuts/concerns and that's a shame! If anyone has information on the Tennis Pro situation here feel free to leave me a comment. I'll attach a photo of the sign below. Overall I was happy with the facility. It was generally very quiet other than some train noise and police sirens. I will definitely be returning here to use the beat wall and hopefully to play some matches on the newly resurfaced courts!

They really have all that you need when it comes to tennis gear: shoes, strings, rackets, balls, bags, clothing, various other accessories for the racket, etc. They also can string and regrip your rackets here for $25 which isn't too bad. I recently was going a few times over the last couple weeks because they let me demo a couple of rackets since I was in the market for replacing my current one. They give you 10 days to demo and if you still want to go demo more you just bring them back within those 10 days and recheck out more if you so desire. I did finally end up picking a racket which I really like and I will continue going to this place to get it restrung and regripped in the future. The people here are always wonderful and helpful and I truly appreciate that.

Only a short walk to the beach from main entrance, nestled back on a side street just off the main beach road close to the south end of Fernandina Beach. Homeowners lounged comfortably by the pool, with a gazebo available for shade or picnicking. There are tennis courts, & picnic tables scattered throughout the grounds, a fire pit, grilling area and a dog park area for pets. Offering an area for car/boat washing off to the back, easy parking. The spacious clubhouse area offers a beautiful wrap around deck, kitchen area, communal fireplace and amazing lagoon views. Condos offer spacious decks and porches.

Oddly, lots of parks in Florida but very few with designated running areas. One thing to note is…read morethat pretty much every street has a sidewalk and a concrete running path here. I found this park by looking at Apple Maps and then zooming in to see if there was an asphalt trail. I arrived really early to run here and noticed the lights kicked on around 6AM. There is a tennis court (which is where I parked), baseball fields, football field and soccer field. The water was not turned near the bathrooms, and the bathrooms were locked. Not sure if they open up at a certain time but that's the reason for my star bump. I was happy to run the asphalt path they had. If you account for the boardwalk area on the lake, you'll get about .90 miles altogether. I did my warmup on the path and ran some outside the park on the concrete. Was able to complete some short interval training by just doing about 2.5 laps on the asphalt. It was fairly flat but you're only going to get about .4 miles of a curved running area before a transition. If you're a runner, I'd recommend coming here for any runs under 5 miles. Also, people are oblivious on the asphalt and don't stay on their side. But, be glad they have asphalt to run on!
