Hidden Valley residents upset with noise, lighting, parking and more from pickleball; student survey reflects trends in cyberbullying, mental health, substance use; social media post of the week
I am guessing the “woman” complaining did not live next to the park when the pickle ball games started at the park. She moved in after the pickle ball games had been going on for a while. So why did she buy a house next to the park and then complain when the citizens of the city use the park? Completely incomprehensible.
I don't get your point. The pickleball courts only opened in February. Why do you think the woman who spoke during public comment only moved to her neighborhood within the past couple months? I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing most of the neighbors complaining about the situation lived there long before the courts were built.
The Martinez Pickle Ball courts have been there since before the Pandemic. Sitting on the Parks & Rec Commission at the time for nearly a decade, all the neighbors were supportive & many played. Then half way into the PRMCC collaboratively working with the local pickle ball group on designing an upgrade, a person buys a house directly next to the park. Immediately starts complaining about people using the park. My point is, parks are for use. Parks are not for looking at empty. People should be given little thrift when complaining about citizens legally recreating in a city park. That was the PRMCC’s opinion on the matter
