The Park District snow removal schedule places the highest priority on public right-a-ways (parking lots and sidewalks). The Park District will remove the snow off the platform tennis courts after the public right-a-ways are cleared. After the Park District removes the initial snowfall, pass holders are responsible for any follow-up snow removal. The snow removal rules are:
- Plastic shovels will be provided at the platform tennis courts. Use of metal shovels on the courts is prohibited as they will damage the metal deck. Remove all snow from the courts by pushing the snow off the outer most edge of the courts by lifting the snow boards off the pegs and shifting them away from the court. Do not push snow onto the center deck. Replace the snow boards on the pegs when finished.
- Do not use any type of ice melt precuts on any of the courts or decking.
- Once the snow has been removed, turn on the blowers to melt any residual moisture and dry the courts. Do not turn on the blowers before all the snow has been shoveled, as this will leave the court in an icy state, leaving the courts unusable, and significantly waste natural gas.
- The blowers will typically take 45 minutes to dry a court, depending on weather conditions.
