On weekends so many pickleball players are holding court at the South Street Mall, that organizers are asking players to seek out other venues to play.
In a JP Pickleball Facebook page post, the popularity of the South Street pickleball courts was applauded. There’s a lot of fun, and a lot of laughter. But the courts are too crowded:
“Please take some time this summer to explore other places to play. If you’ve been to four or more Saturday sessions, give other people a chance–sign up toward the end of the week or skip a Saturday or two,” said the FB post.
Players were being encouraged to volunteer because that would guarantee a chance to play at South Street.
The FB post also addressed half of a common complaint heard around the neighborhood — people wanting to play tennis and basketball have not had room to do so because of so many people wanting to play pickleball.
