We are once again are seeking support from the pickleball community for a pickleball court improvement project. Tomorrow (Monday Aug 21), the Seaside Parks and Rec committee will be meeting to discuss the resurfacing of the Wheeler Tennis courts in Seaside. If you have not played there, it is a lovely park with 4 tennis courts which are currently striped with 4 pickleball courts.
Unfortunately, these courts are in very rough shape and are in desperate need of resurfacing. One of the P&R commissioners is on board and requesting that members of the pickleball community show up to provide them with some guidance. Here is what she said:
... I’m really looking to get an idea if the potential project of resurfacing the wheeler courts for tennis and pickleball is worth it. Will it get enough use. Is it a good location for current players and how is the neighborhood responding to PB users. The input from regulars would be helpful in our P&R decisions as to whether or not to prioritize the project.
If we have enough people show up with a strong show of support for play at Wheeler, it might even be possible to replace some of the tennis courts with permanent pickleball courts. So, please come to show your support especially if you are a regular player at Wheeler.
Here are the meeting details:
I've corrected the date to Monday August *21*. I've also added information about how to support the effort through email if you are unable to attend in person.
