Subject:Pickleball courts at Mitchell Park
Dear City Council Members,
I support the construction of Pickleball courts at Mitchell Park.
Science indicates that staying active and fit and having social connections is a part of aging well. We're encouraged to
find some physical exercise that we really enjoy doing and thus we'll be more likely to stay with it and reap the benefits.
Pickleball is that something for many of us. We wake up in the morning with a plan to meet our Covid bubble at the courts
and if everything aligns, we'll play for 2 hours, often more. We play hard and laugh hard, we chat and go home to a couple
of Ibuprofen, a hearty lunch and feeling great.
Also, during Covid lots of young adults and families have started playing Pickleball, which we should encourage by
providing plenty of courts for our budding numbers.
I realize you have important priorities with the challenges that face our community, if you have extra resources available
while addressing those endeavors I support building Pickleball courts at Mitchell Park.
Thank you for your public service and your consideration of this matter.
Louise Plevel
