Alright, let’s talk about this Doug Will Tennis Center, ya hear? It’s down there at Harrison Park, 301 Grove Street, they say.
What’s the Big Deal About This Tennis Place?
Well, first off, they got tennis, obviously. But it ain’t just that. They got this thing, a tool or somethin’, where you can find other folks to play with. Like, if you’re itchin’ for a game but don’t got nobody to whack the ball with, you can use this thing. I ain’t too good with these newfangled gadgets, but they say you just click this “Add” button, then you pick your court. Sounds easy enough, I guess, even for an old woman like me.
- Find Players
- Pick a Court
- Play Tennis
Good News, It’s Open Again!
Folks were real upset when it was closed. Three whole months, can you believe it? No place to swing a racket. But now it’s back open, so all them tennis folks can go back to hittin’ them fuzzy yellow balls. They were makin’ a big fuss about it, that’s for sure.
Pickleball Too, If You’re Into That Sort of Thing
Now, I ain’t never played this “pickleball” myself, but they got it there too. Courts, lessons, all that stuff. Sounds like a whole lot of hooplah to me, but if you’re young and full of energy, maybe you’d like it. They got all the info on their website or somethin’, or so I heard. Something about open play and reservations, whatever that means.
Staying Active in the Winter, Even When It’s Cold as a Witch’s Tit
These city folks, they always gotta be doin’ somethin’. Even in the dead of winter, they’re out there. And this tennis place, they got these “clinics” in January. Tennis clinics, they call ’em. Guess it’s a way to keep them young’uns from sittin’ around all winter, gettin’ fat and lazy.
Learn How to Play, If You Don’t Already Know
Now, if you’re like me and don’t know a backhand from a chicken coop, they got lessons. Three different kinds, they say. Probably for different levels, I reckon. Beginners, intermediate, and then them fancy folks who think they’re Serena Williams or somethin’. I just hope they got someone patient enough to teach this old dog some new tricks.
It Ain’t Free, You Know
Nothin’s free these days, is it? You gotta pay to play, even at this tennis place. Forty dollars an hour if you live in town, forty-four if you don’t. Seems like a lot of money to me, just to hit a ball around. But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old woman. They say you can book it online, click here and there, and it’s all set. Fancy, huh? You can probably even pay with them newfangled credit card thingamajigs.
So, That’s the Story
That’s about all I know about this Doug Will Tennis Center. It’s a place to play tennis, find other folks to play with, learn how to play, and even play that pickleball thing if you’re so inclined. It’s open again after bein’ closed for a spell, and it’ll cost you a few bucks to use it. But if you’re lookin’ to stay active and have some fun, it might just be the place for ya. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
Final Thoughts, For What They’re Worth
Seems like a decent place, if you’re into that tennis business. Clean, they say, and well-kept. And they got that pickleball, which I still don’t understand, but folks seem to like it. So, there you have it. Go on and play some tennis, if that’s what makes you happy. Just don’t expect me to join ya, my knees ain’t what they used to be.
