What does the city have to say? Even though this is very much he-said, he-said, I’d have to say it seems reasonable that all people requesting permits should get accepted or rejected for the same reason. I’m guessing the USTA doesn’t use 100% of the remnant court space since the regional park is rarely full and why not let other groups use it if you can make extra permit money off it? It seems odd too that the biggest tennis organization in Hawaii doesn’t have its own courts, without which they’d be playing tennis in parking lots.

HPS issues its own permits and others must check with them before the C&C will issue a permit. So how is it “obvious” who has jurisdiction? What Romano says doesn’t really clarify or address any issues. Were the permits denied for a good reason or not?

This other organization should not be iced out of public courts even if it had a facility and if it is a foundation it is a non-profit. The USTA is a non-profit and it makes money off the public courts all the time. This HTPF should know its own business. Seems like the USTA doesn’t want the competition.
