NEWLY REFURBISHED HITTING WALL
​
We are excited to announce that Court #13 now features a dedicated hitting wall! We have extensively cleaned, repaired, and painted the existing concrete wall—including a fresh net line—to provide a low-pressure, personal space where the public can feel comfortable practicing their strokes at their own pace.
​​
The Advantages of Practice Walls​
Practicing against a wall is one of the fastest ways to improve your game. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, the benefits include:
-
Skill Recovery: An ideal way to get back into the rhythm of the game after a break.
-
Skill Reinforcement: The perfect supplement to private coaching or group lessons.
-
Cardio & Fitness: Pop in your earbuds, turn up your favorite music, and get a high-intensity workout while refining your strokes.
-
Solo or Social Play: Enjoy a focused solo session or bring friends for high-repetition drills.
​​
Benefits of Liberty Park’s Hitting Wall​
The wall at Liberty Park offers specific advantages for local players:
-
Massive Size: At nearly 60 feet wide and 12 feet tall, this wall is huge and provides an excellent target area.
-
Flexible Groups: Perfect for one person, two players, or even a small group/family practice session.
-
Quiet Impact: The solid concrete construction is designed to be quiet, ensuring you don’t disturb play on the nearby courts.
-
Low Cost: Access to this massive practice space is included for just the standard court fee.
