The municipal athletics program, reaching as it does hundreds of 

 thousands of boys and girls, young men and women, is one of the vitally 

 important problems of the park recreation program. How to keep athletics 

 free from professionalism and make the program count most for character 

 development and citizenship is a problem concerning park and recreation 

 executives everywhere. 



Tennis. 



Tennis has become so popular a game that park departments have 

 found it necessary to issue rules for the use of courts. The Park Depart- 

 ment of Dallas, Texas, has issued the following rules: 



Children under fifteen years of age are not allowed 

 on courts after 5 P.M. 



Heeled shoes are not permitted on courts. 



Courts may be reserved at Trinity Play Park by 

 telephoning between the hours of 3 to 9 P.M. each day, 

 except Sunday. 



Courts will not be reserved for play during the hours 



of 9 A.M. tO 2 P.M. 



Reservations may be made one day in advance, 

 except for Monday, in which case reservations may be 

 made on Saturday. 



No person will be allowed to play on any court within 

 a period of six hours after having played with person 

 in whose name a reservation has been secured. 



Courts will not be reserved for longer than one hour> 

 except in case of doubles, when two hours reservation 

 is permitted. All reservations must be made on the 

 even hour. 



Records of all reservations will be carefully kept at 

 Trinity Play Park for reference in case of any conflict- 

 ing claims.
