Earlier this week, the Atherton City Council approved the re-opening of Holbrook-Palmer Park tennis facility to limited play opportunities consistent with the County’s shelter-in-place order. Play is limited to singles only, with restrictions, and doubles play for those within the same household only. Operational hours will be restricted since the courts will be actively monitored. At the present time, restrooms are not available at the facility. Rules established for the resumption of tennis will be posted at the facility, the Town’s website and Player Capital website.
