Altamont Park

Located at Rosebury Ave and Gisby St.


As a person who does not play tennis, I am usually disappointed when a park turns out to be not much more than a tennis court. Altamont Park is one of those disappointing parks. But this one is especially bad. Even tennis players would be disappointed with this court.






Pictured above is one of the many large cracks in the court's floor. Although I don't know much about tennis, I'm pretty sure that a cracked court could cause some wayward bounces. Also, only one of the two courts still has a net. If you're looking for a place to play tennis, you should probably look elsewhere.

Beyond an unsatisfactory game of tennis, there really isn't much to do in this park. There's a narrow strip of grass around the edges of the court, but it's not flat enough for ball games and it's too muddy for sitting.


However, there is one thing to do in this park...


Even when it seems like there's nothing left to do, you could always draw penguins.

Good: drawing surface
Bad: broken tennis courts, muddy grass
