Subject:Request to include Pickleball Courts in Phase 1 - May 7th meeting, item number: 4a
SLO Parks and Recreation Commission,
Thank you for the significant effort that has gone into the planning for the new Righetti
Community Park Project.
I am writing to encourage the Commission to include the Alternate #1 Pickleball Courts
into the Base Project (first phase construction).
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the USA for a number of good reasons. It is
welcoming, it builds a community of participants, it promotes physical fitness and it is
really fun!
Because of its growth in the city of SLO, there is a lack of available courts. The waits to
get on courts at Meadow Park and French Park are increasing, and free Pickleball lessons
offered by the SLO Pickleball Club add to the number of local players vying for courts.
To address this need, I encourage you to include the planned Pickleball Courts into the
first building phase.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Craig Graugnard
