Subject:Pickleball Courts
To Whom It Concerns:
I am writing to express my concern about your consideration to decrease the availability
to utilize the tennis courts at French Park for Pickleball. I live across the street from
the tennis courts and I must tell you that I seldom observe tennis players on the tennis
courts. There are a group of women early on Tuesday morning and sporadically
throughout the week.
Clearly, we have a very active club and a growing number of members that utilize the
courts at least 5-6 days a week for 3-4/5 hours per day. It is not like there are not other
tennis courts close by, but I would assume if you made your changes, the courts would
not be used as much as they are now.
I encourage your consideration to create a varied structure that works for all, especially
since we are such an active group, love our community connections at French Park,
and are always bringing new folks on to teach them the sport and to expand our
community. It is obvious that there is less of a tennis community.
Let us all find a way that there is a result that works for everyone involved.
Thank you and I so appreciate your consideration.
Best,
Sande Rutstein,
a French Park neighbor
