Inclement Weather Policy
The on-duty attendant will determine whether or not the courts are playable before, during and/or after wet weather conditions as deemed necessary. In the event of inclement weather, we reserve the right to close the courts for the day and cancel all existing reservations. In the event that this occurs, players are required to submit new reservations. Cancelled reservations will be voided for future play.
