| Lights
for Evening Play |
Yes, but... |
There
are lights, but the quality is so poor as to make the lights unusable for night play. The lenses are so dirty
as to block a lot of the light. The city just does not want to get up there and clean them. Also, two lamp heads are overgrown
by the trees, thus blocking most of their light output. Again, the city knows about this, but does not want to bear the expense of trimming the trees. |

Surface Quality |
Poor |
The surface it totally shot. At the baseline there is more bare asphalt than there is paint. Very dangerous, too, as the surface is very sandy from the sanded a paint surface deterioration. These courts are unplayable for any level of serious play. |
| Cleanliness |
Poor |
The
city does not clean these tennis courts, and because of the surrounding
bushes, they get very dirty. They often have piles of leaves on
the courts. |

Overall,
Davies Park is very nice. Unfortunately, the tennis courts have
not been maintained to the level of the rest of the park. |
