Lincoln Park tennis courts are laid out exactly like those at Nathan Hale, also known as meadow brook. There are 6 courts with incandescent lights. The park dept. is supposed to change the name to Bob Booth tennis courts; that might never happen. To get there from lower woodland it takes about 20 minutes, if you use use hwy 99 and the viaduct. To get there from I-5 follow the signs to West Seattle and then signs that say to Vashon Ferry. The tennis courts are across the street from a gas station on Fauntleroy Way, just before you come to the north end of Lincoln Park. They are located on the opposite side of the street from main park (east dide of street).
There is a yahoo group for Lincoln Park, the URL is: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Lincoln_Park_Tennis/
At the present time the regular players go there in the mornings usually between 10am and 11am. There is also a special morning group that only plays at 9am on Tuesdays, Thursday and weekends. The person in charge of that group is tennis legend Coon.
The players usually only play doubles, and there are only about 12 players left. With the exception of Coon and myself Lincoln Park players don't play at other parks. Court no. 3 (N.E. Corner) has the best surface and is usually where people show up at. After 1pm it's usually dead. Lots of free courts, no players. Now you know more about Lincoln Park.
