Costello Park remains a local amenity in Lawrence, providing two handball courts among its recreational offerings, while situated along the Shawsheen River with family-oriented features like playgrounds and picnic tables ([cityoflawrence.com](https://www.cityoflawrence.com/Facilities/Facility/Details/Costello-Park-3?utm_source=openai)). Though no recent racquet‑sport developments specific to Costello Park have emerged, the broader region reflects growing interest in racquet sports, particularly pickleball and tennis. Lawrence Parks, Recreation and Culture continues to support tennis activities through lighted outdoor courts at multiple locations and offers classes for beginning to intermediate players ([lawrenceks.gov](https://lawrenceks.gov/lprd/ltc/?utm_source=openai)). Additionally, online community discussions highlight active engagement in local tennis play, including at venues such as Holcom Park ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Lawrence/comments/1rxqg7x/anyone_down_for_tennis/?utm_source=openai)).
