Pretty much what the title says—a couple of tourists trying to get a taste of the game in other places. We will be at McCormick Place just South of the Loop for a conference in mid-July—busy all day, but I think evenings will be free. I’ve seen there are courts at Grant Park, but don’t know how they work/ how to join play groups. Where /when would be a good spot for us to drop in?

Note: we are not simply looking for courts, but for people to play with, at intermediate or open play levels.

I’m going to a conference at McCormick Place in July. I’m looking at hotels in Grant Park. The distance is a little shorter than I usually ride to grocery stores, gym, etc in my medium-sized city, and it looks like there’s a greenspace with a path I could use.

Divvy bikes sound bad. Is there a bike shop in that area that would rent to me for less than a week, for a reasonable price?
