Dear San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Commissioners,
It is my understanding that SLO Parks and Recreation is proposing to further reduce pickleball access to
the Lower Courts at French Park and I am writing to ask you to please reconsider this position.
I have found pickleball to be an excellent and fun way to contribute to my fitness; pickleball allows me
to be in the company of other active seniors and to enjoy being out of doors in our beautiful parks.
Pickleball is a great game and I hope the Commission is aware of the benefits of pickleball to the many,
many citizens of San Luis Obispo who play.
The Upper Courts at French Park are very busy on the days that the Lower Courts are being reserved for
tennis and the long wait times for a pickleball game discourages me from playing on those days, your
decision to further reduce access to the Lower Courts will significantly impact the number of days that I
play and thus my fitness and well being.
Please add MORE hours to the availability of the Lower Courts at French Park for pickleball!
Thank you,
Louise Plevel
