From Tennison Q.: "Usually this court is alive with locals and tourists alike, but during Covid, you had to bring your own ball and sneak into the park. Nobody would ever come to chase you out, but you'd also be shooting by your lonesome. Still, I think the solidarity added to the photo factor of this beautiful court."
