Okay, so I headed up to the double courts today to solo polo. There were a few kids playing football so I didn't get a chance to use the full length but I got a feel for them, the surface feels rougher than Highgate but not as bad as Calthorpe if that makes sense? I was worried as one was higher than the other that they might slope slightly but I couldn't detect this and the ball didn't roll when I left it in random spots. I dribbled the ball round the entire perimeter of one court and there is a couple of points where it could go under the barriers/out of a gap which for a tourney could be solved with a few bits of 2x4/sliding board.
I uploaded some photos to my flickr so you guys can see properly. The next step is obviously to have a few games on there sometime in the next few weeks and see what everyone else thinks. I've already drafted up some emails to send out to various people at the Council if we think it's a go-er. I'm still gonna keep looking for other possibilities though.
