Lately since the whole pickle ball fiasco started, every time my family and I try to play tennis past 7 pm we get bullied out of the court on demand from the group of pickle ball “players”. We just tried to play today and were told that at 7:15pm they take over both courts not leaving any room for tennis players to play. We asked on what grounds they could take up both courts and the simple explanation was that because they have 16 players they have the rights to both courts. To my knowledge, each Pickleball court has four players with them already having two that makes eight players total only making the remaining 16 players wait two games as opposed to us tennis player having to leave the court just because they’re gonna take it over. My fiancé works until 5:30 PM and drives an hour home so that we could try and play tennis for the reminder of the afternoon maybe twice a week which is supposed to be Mondays and Wednesdays since Tuesdays and Thursdays are already Pickleball nights to find that now the whole week Pickleball players get to take over both courts if so, they desire. The first come first serve basis for Pickleball players does not meet the criteria or standards to take away from the actual tennis players that do wanna play on the designated Tennis nights. We did not even got to take our gear out of the bag to play since there was a tennis coach that was also kicked from the court by the pickle ball “players” not allowing us to use the court after the coach was done. It is sad to see how people that want to grow and honed a skill set are impeded by others. As working adults with limited time and not much flexibility with our schedules, now we cannot even enjoy a late afternoon of discipline that we as a couple decided to take up on. As per the leaders of the pickle ball group we got told that only Wednesday is tennis club night using that as grounds to only allow people to play tennis on Wednesday. I would love to understand the new structure / rules of the court as apparently the tennis court can only be used for tennis 1 day...

Good day,

I just want to give a shout out to Adrienne MacDonald ! You did a great job today in the community and handling some very tough situations faced today . Brava to you and giving you lots of positive energy since dealing with unprofessionalism in your life can be very frustrating and causes additional stress . So kudos to you and the team for dealing with these abrasive people !

I was actually meeting my Husband and Son down at the new Flip Flop Bar and Grill, the community restaurant! So far so good 👌 I really like the atmosphere and the waiter was very friendly. They had already ordered some parmesan wings and a giant pretzel with queso! It was so good 😋 I didn't take pics because they had already started digging in by the time I came down....
