Hello,
My name is Kimber Edwards. I am both a tennis player and a pickle ball player. In my opinion, there is
not need to restrict the pickle ball usage of the lower tennis court. There are many tennis ball courts all
over town and very few pickle ball locations. Pickleball is a growing sport with more and more people
excited to learn and play. As it is the courts are very few on the allotted days. I feel that SLO recreation
should do it’s part in encouraging this activity in our community.
Lastly, I have witnessed the respect that the pickle ball players have for those playing tennis. If a player
is playing tennis on the lower courts, and pickle ball players come to play, there is a respect given while
the tennis players finish their play. Besides, very often when the courts are reserved for tennis the
courts are empty.
Why not let the courts be used on as needed bases with both sports showing respect. There is no need
for more restrictions.
Thank you for your consideration.
Kimber Edwards
