Thanks.\nTo the Alameda Recreation Commission,\nWe had been enjoying the health benefits of being able to play tennis in the night hours at Leydecker\nPark until 10.40. This allows for a few parents and older folks to enjoy their favorite exercise sport, as this\nis the only hour that is workable for some working people.\nRecently the shut off time for the lights have been reduced to 10 p.m. This severely cuts our time on the\ncourt, and we are asking that the time be brought back to what it used to be, which is 10.40 p.m.\nThe lights are on auto off, and therefore are not a waste of electrical use when no one is using the court.\nAlso, there is no observed public disturbance brought on by the courts being on till 10.40. p.m.\nWe hope that this request can be answered, as it is definitely a good health benefit for the residents who\nutilize the courts at this time.\nThank you very much for your consideration.\nBest,\nLeslie Ooi", "path": "RecreationandParkCommission/2022-05-16.pdf"}
