French Park Tennis Court Play Schedule:
My name is Darline Serrano and my husband and I retired here from Arizona. I started
playing Pickleball
at Meadow Park before we ever had a "Club" organized. I am proud to say I am one of the
original members of
the SLO Pickleball Club. We started out with maybe 30 members and have grown to over
150. After more than
five years of playing pickleball I have made numerous friends, stayed physically active, and
have become very involved in charity work. All because of Pickleball !!
I have found my church, learned about and now volunteer at Prado, Friends of the Library
and enjoy our City Parks.
I am shocked that at this time the City wants to stop this activity for many citizens of our
City. Pickleball is now being played at schools.
School vacations we see many young adults and college students coming to French to learn
and play the game! Its wonderful to enjoy the young at heart.
We Laugh, play and learn about each other.
WHY would the City want to take Court Time away from all these citizens that are enjoying
French Park and the exercise that keeps all of us healthier.
I live on Bluebell Way right next to the park. I see on a daily basis how the
Tennis Courts are not used by tennis players. Tuesday mornings there is a group of 4
women who play for about two hours only on Tuesday mornings.
Other popular times are afternoons when school is out. Once in a great while I will see a
couple people playing tennis on a weekend afternoon.
PLEASE LET US KEEP OUR COURT TIMES AT FRENCH PARK
