Playing Tennis In their 70’s and Having A Blast At McKinley Park

The Tennis Squad has been playing tennis over 50 years out of McKinley Park and they’ve seen it all. They’ve seen the game change, the technology advance, and the players come and go. But through it all, they’ve remained a tight-knit group who loves nothing more than getting together to play a few sets. They may not be as fast or as agile as they once were, but they still have the passion for the game that they did when they first started playing all those years ago. And a lot of laughs. And that’s what keeps them coming back week after week – the love of the game.
