Foster Avenue beach court

At this court, you have a nice view over Lake Michigan and also the city of Chicago. It is a good court to play a game with your team. There is only one court so you have to be lucky for a free spot. The only thing that isn’t good at the court is the nets. The best thing to do is to bring your own.
