We're more interested in enjoying the outdoors, scenic beauty and good company. Most of our hikes are in Central and North Jersey and Southern New York, but we do venture outside of the area at times.

Music and concert events (both inside and outside) will be geared toward classic rock bands which continue to tour & tribute bands to those who no longer do so.

Central NJ Tennis Meet-Up Group

Edison, NJ

What we're about <br>Looking for a friendly group of intermediate-to-advanced tennis players? SPG Tennis was organized in 1974 to meet that need. Then in 2013, we created the "Central NJ Tennis Meet-Up Group" to publicize the tennis activities SPG members (http://www.spgtennis.org) enjoy so much.

SPG plays outdoors during the summer, April 27 to November 5, 2019. We have weekend play on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9 am to 1 pm on eight courts at 1295 Inman Ave in Edison, New Jersey 08820. <br>Click here for driving directions (http://www.whschool.org/page.cfm?p=511).

At times, Wardlaw’s courts are unavailable for outdoor play. On those occasions, SPG members often move to Kramer Park in Scotch Plains to play. This is a public venue and it is not an “officially sanctioned SPG event.” You have to provide your own balls and share the courts with local residents. Some SPG members also play at Kramer on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and some brave the cold and play on Saturdays and Sundays between November and March, as well.

Directions to Kramer Park: <br>The Park is located off of South Martine Avenue in Scotch Plains. You may not find this on MapQuest. Kramer is roughly two miles from the Scotch Plains exit of Rt. 22 at Snuffy’s Restaurant (near the Blue Star shopping center). From Fanwood center (the intersection of South Avenue, a.k.a. NJ Route 28, and Martine Ave.), head southeast on South Martine Ave. Go roughly half a mile. Then look for Congregation Beth Israel on your left, on the corner of Shalom Way, a.k.a. Cliffwood St. Turn left into Shalom Way and drive to the end. (Shalom Way is between Evelyn St. And Mary Ellen Lane).

Joining SPG (http://www.spgtennis.org)is a great, affordable way to play tennis with others at your level and meet new people.
