"Are those two tennis courts already lighted?"
That is a question I believe should be decided by input from the Racquet Sports Advisory Committee to our General Manager. The Pickle Ball and Tennis representatives, on that committee, should come to an agreement, and suggest to the General Manager what they believe would be the best way to proceed in that regard. Personally, I believe, that one of the dedicated tennis courts should be one that is lit. Although Pickle is usually not played outdoors in the winter months, when it does get dark early, a few players may wish to play at night in the shoulder and summer months. Thank you for your interest. Tom Herrick |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: My motion would dedicate 2 tennis courts to full time Pickle Ball courts which would have the pickle ball line markings only and also be fitted with permanent center nets. Currently there is a total of four (4) temporary pickle ball courts for use at the complex. Although four pickle ball courts can actually fit onto one tennis court, many of the conversions being made across the country are fitting them with three courts to provide additional room for the players. This configuration will provide the pickle ball membership with a total of nine courts for use when including the three currently available in the Community Center. (bold added by me) Thank you Tom Herrick for your thoughtful answer. So, the board voting to have the GM investigate the recommendation contained in your motion can lead to the creation of of six permanent, dedicated pickle ball courts that do not currently exist, and for a very minimal cost to the OPA members. For the record, I don't see your motion as a useless motion, as Joe Reynolds does, and thank you for making the motion and the suggestion. Also thanks to the board for recognizing and approving a recommendation that can lead to saving OPA members thousands of dollars. One other question regarding the courts that would be converted to pickle ball. Are those two tennis courts already lighted? |
