"Hold Music" is an even 10 tracks of serious mood music, mostly improvised pieces, with a couple of field recordings.

Being that Reider is from Colorado, I assume this recording is from the Fickel Park in Berthoud, CO located at 620 Mountain Avenue. The Berthoud Parks & Recs website says they got a newly refurbished tennis court with lights, so be sure to check that out if you're in the area.
