In order to allow a fair and reasonable amount of play for everyone, please restrict games to one hour in total if others are waiting to play.

We retains the right to restrict the free use of the courts on occasions, and to allocate courts for use by others. Signs will be placed in advance so that you will know if the court has been reserved.
