The Park Board may have closed facilities like tennis courts for their usual purposes, like, um, tennis, but that hasn’t stopped Vancouverites from finding recreational and fitness opportunities outdoors.  Which Dr. Henry thinks is okay so long as you-know-what is maintained.

As with golf courses, perhaps it’s time to evaluate what other uses can be shared with a single-purpose space.

  1. The safe multi-use of recreational facilities should be explored. Damaging tennis court surfaces by dropping heavy weights on them, however, is not smart!

  2. Why exactly are tennis courts closed? Why not singles only? Seems like pretty easy to maintain distance and minimal transmission risk.
