Robinswood Park Tennis Bubbles
 This facility was constructed, or perhaps “inflated” is a better word, at Robinswood Park in 1974. The inflatable domes, called “bubbles,” were Bellevue’s first attempt at providing covered tennis courts for Eastside residents.
Unfortunately, the bubbles turned out to be more costly and less functional than anticipated. In 1987 the parks department deflated them and set to work on a more traditional structure. The new wooden building opened on June 4, 1988 with a ribbon-cutting, exhibition matches, and a clinic by tennis pro Tom Gorman.
