Pickleball Court Project, French Park
SLO Pickleball Club, Inc is very pleased to give our full support to the Pickleball Court Project at French Park.
Adding permanent courts in the City of San Luis Obispo will greatly enhance the recreational options for its
citizens. Another benefit of adding courts is that it will reduce the number of out of town automobile trips. We
estimate that there are 10-15 trips made per day to play at other pickleball court venues, some or all of which
could be eliminated.
We want to thank the City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation staff who have worked closely with SLO
Pickleball Club representatives to come up with a first class project. Regular meetings with Devin Hyfield,
David Setterlund and Chris Woods have been very productive and we appreciate their time and effort in
support of SLO Pickleball Club and the sport of pickleball.
Finally, the Parks and Recreation Commission have heard from our Club at several meetings and have been
very receptive to our input. Their good work must also be commended and we wish to thank them for serving
on the commission.
Regards,
Brian O’Kelly
