California Park

1comment

Young tennis players hit against backboard alone and non-tennis players sit alone on the bench on the other side of the fence nearest the river (very close to the court). If two tennis players are there, they ask to hit for 'fifteen minutes' and if a non-tennis player is on the bench he says 'hi' or will retrieve a tennis ball that is 'purposedly' hit over the fence.

Best time
Mornings, afternoons.
Crowd
Older, curious, young and college guys.
Watch out
No peeves or danger, there's nothing wrong with meeting people in public.
