New London Polo Courts + Lights

Granville Square -
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?oe=utf...,0.001824&z=19

Small, big enough for 2 on 2 at the most.
In the middle of a very quiet Georgian residential square.
Not ideal by any means.

Any other courts South of Pentonville Rd you need me to check out just holler!

anyone checked out these? the off old street was in a quiet estate, the other on columbia road looks small and in an... estate... er...

...needs lights tho.

Found this whilst milling around Islington today, Barnard Park:

Streetview link

Pros:
Large, abandoned?
Balcony areas.
Next to a park.
In Islington.
No local use.
One floodlight.

Cons:
Surface slightly uneven/bowed?
Needs walling in.
Less than 40yds from a row of houses (maybe).
One floodlight.

Might be an awesome location for a tourney and might be a great location to ask the council about re-developing?

(The kids playground next to it is kaput, all the swings, etc, have been removed. It looks structurally sound, but essentially unsafe?)

has anyone checked out this? light-less and no seating yet...

i like it cos its close... har har har

the building close to it looks like a school... no good

Anyone want to try this? We've been here a couple of times. I don't remember what the thoughts were? I've never seen anyone use it.

(it has lights, which I never noticed in the past)

It's a nice court, but often busy I think?

As I said, never seen anyone use it when going by to Sainsbury's in the evening. That's not a definitive answer though, really.

Sainsbury's. Get you.

Court looks good.

really close to my place, stoke newington

That court looks great! No lights by the looks of things?

Looks like a nice summer court (no lights), but I think we should try to make Dog Fight Court workable this summer. I love that place (although I've only played there twice). So nice to have a park right there!

This court does not get an awful lot of use, might be the wrong side of town though.

where is this Dog fight park?

Where did the court map go? Anyone checked out:

(just randomly looking around)

where is this Dog fight park?

Off St Pauls Road

Dove row is sketchy.
Shoreditch Park 1 is tiny.
Shoreditch Park 2 earned me a brick thrown at my head just for riding in to have a look at 2pm one Thursday.

Keep Trying Aitch.

Mitchison is sketchy, and I've been hit in the head with a rock there (albeit, a rock is not a brick!). Are they not worth checking out?

(and do they even have lights)

ah, is Dog Fight the one with the banked walls? that's whack. :D

I hate open courts, but high sealing + covered + lights = petticoat lane car park: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=shoreditch+park&sll=51.518875,-0.069377&sspn=0.000179,0.00066&gl=uk&ie=UTF8&hq=shoreditch+park&hnear=&ll=51.5153,-0.075023&spn=0.000081,0.00066&t=h&z=21&layer=c&cbll=51.515283,-0.074999&panoid=O6I4Lu1YX1un8bYZZVURTw&cbp=11,15.88,,0,4.54

No idea what kind of luck we'd have until trying...

Yeah, it's only behind the goal that is a problem though.
