There's a lot of dogs in the park plus wildlife so beware of leaving your lunch unattended. Oh and watch out for drug addicts and pedoes!

The culture of the tennis courts there suck, the players play, and play for as long as they want and if they see someone waiting for a turn... good luck they don't respect the one hour courtesy match
