Dear LPM,
This weekend is the Marin County Fair and your parking lot will be crowded with strangers! So why not come up and visit Petaluma and see your friends! We are at the courts Saturday mornings at 10 AM. There's street parking and some park parking spaces. If you have any problems locating the club, check out our website for a map. This is a very challenging court!
