Pickleball Courts in a Legal Pickle 

I am always amazed by the "smart" remarks made by people who think they can bring their joyful Noise into the homes of people whose home is their refuse from the every day stress's of life. People who think they have a right to play pickleball near anyone's home are selfish and insensitive and have no sense of the damage they are doing to other peoples health. They don't care.

For a country that put men on the Moon in 1969, we sure know how to sabotage quality of life. First, we had the automotive engineers decide that having every car honk its horn when the doors are locked, is a great idea. So what do we have?...a cacophony of intrusive noise at every grocery store, mall, church, school, cemetery, etc, etc. Brilliant! Now imagine living in a neighborhood where someone is shingling their roof everyday. Again, brilliant! 😵‍💫

We live next to a park that has hockey, a pool, skateboarders, a music pavilion, playground and it's all joyful noise. But once they put pickleball it became an unbearable noise. Neighborhoods don't mind kids laughing and people playing basketball, because pickleball noise is different. Listen to what he is saying about why pickleball is different and a problem. Don't just be rude and ignorant to nice neighborhoods. I urge you to stand next to a pickleball court unbiased and imagine that impulsive noise going all day... try to be empathetic to the neighbors. We need kindness in this world. Parks need to plan where they put the courts. Just put them far away from houses. Simple.

Tennis is better, just play tennis.

What bothers me is when people buy houses that are next to/close to things that can be a nuisance....be it pickle ball courts, race tracks, community pools/clubhouse/rec areas, small airports, etc and then complain about the noise, get them shut down, or cost them exorbitant amounts of money in legal fess and noise abatement that they are no longer profitable or enjoyable and end up shutting down.

Laughable and insensitive statement, proves the ignorance for the sport

God forbid you hear kids laughing too.
