Hyde Park Treasures

...a continuing photo series.

#5. The tennis courts at the Quadrangle Club.

Just imagine: Har-Tru clay, an idyllic setting, and friendly people. If you love tennis, you should be playing here.

You don't have to be rich to join -- membership at the QC is cheaper than a health club.

You don't have to be affiliated with the University of Chicago to join.

Cheaper than a health club, yes. However, they don't have gym facilities. If they did, it'd be really great. But, it's a good place to take out of towners for dinner or lunch, and they have rooms that out of towners can stay in. But, I'm a member because of the tennis courts.

Hi Raymond,

I'm trying to persuade the University that they should install a small exercise room and improve the locker room and showers when they remodel.

That, a ping pong table, and wireless Internet, and it would be a happenin' place.

Agreed. Sign me up.

I think it has wireless.

The University already realizes wireless is important when they remodel. The manager has tried to get it to work, but it's spotty in the building.
