Indoor courts are on a synthetic surface. Easier on the joints. Most Arlington city gyms floors in Arlington are in good shape. CONS: Solid intermediate players. Needs adv players. No one playing outdoors. Outside courts are kind of tight; need to bring a net to play. Outdoor courts usually have adv players on weekends. NOTES ABOUT THIS VISIT: My first visit here. First arrived 11 players. Max was 12 players on 3 of 4 courts. Skill level: 3.0 – 3.5. Mostly 50+ players. *The DPA review was my own view, this was based on my visit at that particular time and day. The review might have been different on another day and/or time. Everyone has their own opinion

Nice park, good playground and walking/riding routes. The indoor area is nice as well. It's a shame Americans don't utilize the parks here more often when they are as beautiful as this is. In Europe the place would be crowded every day with people wanting fresh air, social interaction and community and exercise. The park is very well maintained !

Very nice park. It has one station with doggy bags and a doggy fountain. Water runs slowly in this fountain and is not scary to the dogs.
