Lighted courts: play after dark.

The DMV's cruelest math: work ends at 5, sunset comes anyway. These are the 20 outdoor locations in the register with lights — from dedicated lighted complexes like Bauer Drive and East Norbeck to lined tennis courts across Montgomery County. One local secret worth knowing: many county lights run on timers (Olney Manor's reset button hides on the pole by court 3 — the kind of intel players file here). Check each court's record for player reports before you drive.

Played one of these at night? Rate it in pickles — especially whether the lights actually turned on. That's the stuff no parks website tracks.
