NEW HITTING WALL
​
Court #13 at Liberty Park now has a dedicated hitting wall. We have extensively cleaned, fixed, and painted an existing concrete wall (with an additional net line) for the public to practice their game in a more private setting.
​
Benefits of using a practice wall include:
​
-
Getting back into the game
-
Supplemental practice to private and group lessons
-
Cardio & Fitness (put in your earbuds & listen to some of your favorite music while practicing your strokes)
-
One, Two, or Family Practice
-
Size: This wall is huge! It is almost 60 feet wide and 12 feet tall.
-
Quiet: Being made of concrete, this wall is quiet, not disturbing play on other nearby courts.​
​
RATE: Court Fee
