Southeast Park — Attraction in Columbia

so my friends and i wanted to go play pickleball and at first all the pickleball courts were taken so we went and practiced at a tennis court after a while we switched over to the pickleball court to see if we could get a court, and these old lady told us to put our paddles in this area that’s for beginners so we did that. while we were waiting for open play this guy says “if yall want to play alone yall can go to the tennis court” and this made us uncomfortable but we just ignored it. then we were playing with this guy he was nice but was throwing shade here and there but we just ignored it, then the old lady comes and says “oh if they don’t know how to play this is not the time” so she’s weird for that because first of all how are we supposed to learn when ALL THE COURTS ARE TAKEN, i’ve bet everyone had their first time and they weren’t pros at it. we didn’t feel welcomed whatsoever and the park is public and they should welcome anyone that wants to learn. the old lady is...
