Surface & ground texture
Concrete hard court
Dense, smooth and very firm
- Footing
- Solid grip when dry; can be slick when wet
- Bounce
- Fast, true and lively bounce
- Wet weather
- Sheds water quickly where the slab is sloped to drain

- Restrooms in the park
- Community park setting — rink house and programs nearby
