What a beauty! These two well-tended, lighted courts look out through Mexican palm tree paradise and quiet birdchip over an urban coastal panorama of infinite wonder. There is no better glint than the glint to be taken in from this bluff overlooking the Long Beach freeway, where the sun glints mightily off big skullcap-shaped warehouses serving the Port of Long Beach.
Look oceanward and also inward: this park is in the original part of Long Beach, with buildings dating back to the 1880’s. While keeping both tennis eyes on the ball, let your third eye wander over painted planks and nailed-together rectangles, letting the lines of the old-time-y architecture draw their own stories.
