I just checked google earth 3D and the date of the same exact pic I posted above from google earth; is Feb. 2017

So what's going on underground on that island?
(Funny thing I was just there last summer taking the ferry out of Red Hook to St. John. The XO Bistro is a pretty good place to eat right across the ferry...would recommend.)

on google maps the tennis court appears to be on a hill in 3D it is strange. but the date is Feb 2017 on google earth with the same views. it is very strange and his weird arse clock sun dial thing is seen and very strange.

Google Earth is using old elevation data with new photography. That's why the tennis court looks all hilly.
I'm sure they graded the top of that hill down to build a flat tennis court.

No one's saying the Google Earth images are current.
I don't know when the drone pics were taken, but it seems that that might be able to be divined before too long. Expert analysis indicates that it was likely within the last few weeks. If I get more from those who know more than me about the origin dates of the drone pics, I'll certainly share.

**ASSUMING** that the photos have been taken via drone within the last (I'm going to pick an arbitrary time frame) 4 weeks, as posited by Aerial PhotographyAnon, where is the tennis court in those presumably April 2019 photos?

So the Google Earth imagery is older than the drone image in the OP, but the tennis court is missing in the new drone imagery.
Am I interpreting that correct?
ETA: and the vegetation is so dead around the diked area in the OP. Weird.

Looks like a shithole.

The real action is underground...

Okay. According to Google Earth images it looks like the tennis court was receiving no maintenance after Hurricane Maria.
Before Maria:
After Maria:
Latest Google Earth image:
Which appears to match the image in the OP.

Gumbo, where are you finding the timeline function in the top left of your Maria pic?

Could the bermed arena be a helicopter landing space? The berm to keep the dirt/dust from spreading out?

This photo comes up on the island listing for Google Maps, with an April 2018 date, but that might be because it's when it was uploaded.
It's obviously of the "tennis court" area when it was under construction. Or it's 2 dozen bodies buried. Who knows?

I can’t imagine very much. Looking at the the surrounding terrain, it can’t go anywhere unless it goes straight down and would take a massive operation to dig out.
I’m guessing it’s a small storage bunker or something. Maybe he’s a prepper.

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree, but there's this area that seems designated for helipad use:

I can't find the bermed arena on google maps, but according to the pics, it is near the blue roofed building, which roughly lines up with the area labeled H(elipad). Maybe dated pictures/imagery?

The snorkeling at Christmas Cove on the North side is fantastic. Viability is great and biodiversity is awesome. You can also order a pizza from your boat. Not quite a shithole. The island's owner is another story.
