Open Play: refers to a casual, drop-in play session where players can join without pre-arranged matches or reservations. It's a social way to play, typically involving a rotation system where players take turns on the court. Simply show up at the designated time and location, and you can participate.
The Paddle Holder System is used when the courts are full at Riverside Park. If players are waiting, please limit play to one game to 11 points. The paddle holder determines who’s up next for the open court.
