Rock Grill. Reservations are not required and there is no charge for use of the court. The court has recently been
resurfaced and relined, and a new net has been installed, so it is in excellent condition. New lights have also been
installed and are on a no-fee timer system, so you may now play after dusk when the weather is more comfortable.
