I forgot to mention that I was driving past Greenaway Park a few days ago and noticed the tennis courts are completed, nets up, and people are playing tennis on the two courts.
I often wondered if newcomers to Cloverdale knew about the old tennis courts that were on the hill midway between the pool and Lord Tweedsmuir. Certainly those of us who were living in Cloverdale in 1969 knew they were built because it was big news and they used to have tennis lessons there.
The newly built ones are much easier to spot - just a few feet away from the parking lot.

Greenaway Park update
I walked the dogs over to Greenaway Park this morning but none of the signs around the area said what's going on. However I managed to speak with one of the workers. They're putting in a tennis court.
But aren't there a couple of tennis courts up on the hill between the park and Lord Tweedsmuir?
The man says they're gone now. I still remember them being built around 1970, Cloverdale's first tennis courts. The second ones were built at the back of Cloverdale Junior High in the mid-70's. Both supposed to be public courts but often the school teachers took their gym classes down to play tennis, often ending in heated arguments with Cloverdale residents who were already using the courts.
