Subject:Feb2 agenda, item #11 Mitchell park pickleball courts
Please support the building of pickleball courts at Mitchell Park. This fun, and addicting
sport, is played by all ages in SLO. It is the fastest growing sport in the US, many
schools now teach it in PE. Our existing courts at French Park are wonderful, but usually
full. Also, with only 3 "real" pickleball courts it will be difficult to hold a tournament in
SLO, that would bring in a lot of tourist dollars. The double lined courts at French and
Meadow are nice for amateurs, but certainly are not professional. Nearby cities have
more permanent courts than SLO.
Please vote in favor of these additional courts for our local citizens and tourists alike. I
have met quite a few out of towners at our courts, and it is sad to see them waiting and
waiting for an open court, as we have so many committed players here in SLO.
Thank you,
Sally Brooks-Schulke
