Sweet, thanks! How about public tennis courts with lights in the area?

Myers Park, Tom Brown, and Winthrop are all pretty good areas. Sometimes Winthrop lights act up. I'm not sure if they fixed those.

Great, I'll hopefully be checking out one of those tonight. Which do you prefer of the three?

I've lately been going to Tom Brown Park frequently. Lots of people frequent that area so I tend to find hitting partners or use the wall. Haven't actually been there at night. Myers is also nice if you go with someone and it has a wall/basketball court (not sure how that works lol). Winthrop is where I took a few Tallahassee Tennis clinic sessions there. Generally the same as Tom Brown just fewer people.

Decisions, decisions LOL. They all sound really good. Even though Tom Brown is on the opposite side of the circle from where I live.. I work on the Tom Brown side. Didn't look at the map for the others yet.

Do they lock the gates on the courts? Just did streeview on Myers, wondering what the hours are for these courts with lights at the different parks...

Most places I know have automatic shut off at 10:00-11:00 PM it varies for some reason. No they gates do not lock.

Hmm yeah I suppose you're right: http://www.talgov.com/parks/tennis/courts.cfm Free walk in play during unsupervised hours. Whenever that is. Prob after 7 when I'd be there. I'll be there tonight with John Scott from the group. One of our other local members. The other two members are good friends from here.. been here with them for about 3 years.
