Due to the increasing popularity of Pickleball, the eastern tennis court at Grove Park has been converted to two Pickleball courts. The tennis court closest to Grove Street will remain open for tennis, so residents will have the ability to play either one of these popular sports. Courts are available on a first come, first serve basis, and there is no charge to use these courts.
