Reservations for 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. courts at Gillson Park will be taken at 6 p.m. Same day reservations cannot be taken because court reservations are posted at each court by 8 a.m. daily.
• Non-residents may play on open courts or by "racking-up."
• When making reservations by telephone, please give your name, phone number and name of one other player in your group.
