Might be more beneficial to wait until there is more funding to build a new pickleball court in another area. Speaker Cheryl Saxton: Agree to convert the Washington Park tennis court to a pickleball court as the game turnover is faster allowing more people to play which is good because there are more people playing the sport now. More courts would bring more people to Alameda which is good for restaurants and bars. Speaker: Kristen Fairfield: Against converting the Washington Park tennis court to pickleball court. Measure WW money was for resurfacing the tennis courts and only the tennis courts therefore Pickleball would not be aligned with the agreement. Speaker Jon Greer: Against converting the Washington Park tennis court to pickleball court as the wait times for tennis courts are already excessive and parking is overflowing. Agreed that the WW money was to be used for the tennis courts. Speaker Janie McCauley: Agree to another pickleball court. Suggested sharing the court 4 with tennis and pickleball. Also said the tennis court at Longfellow might be a good pickleball conversion as it is not used as much. 2 | RecreationandParkCommission/2021-03-11.pdf |
