Action Alert: ASK FOR MORE PICKLEBALL IN MOUNTLAKE TERRACE

The City of Mountlake Terrace is working on a new Master Plan for its parks and open spaces. Please visit their online open house and ask them plan for more pickleball opportunities.

Make sure you ask them to add lines for 10 pickleball courts on the existing tennis courts at the Evergreen Playfield Complex .

Feel free to ask for more indoor pickleball as well. Tell them that asking pickleball players to play on a racquetball court (the current indoor situation) is like asking football layers to play on a basketball court.

And of course, ask for whatever else you'd like.

If you only have 2 minutes, start here: https://mltparks.infocommunity.org/rpos-master-plan/..., and focus on the first two pages.
If you have 10 minutes, start here: https://mltparks.infocommunity.org/

The open house closes on April 28. But why wait? Do it now!

Why bother? Public pickleball courts don't magically appear out of thin air. Every pickleball court that you play on was created because people advocated, educated, organized and lobbied for it.

Why me? Because you would like to avoid having your favorite pickleball courts became overcrowded. It's well worth spending a little time once in a while to make sure more pickleball courts become available.

But it's not in my neighborhood. If you don't give people courts in their own neighborhood, they will come to your neighborhood to play, which is great until your neighborhood courts are overcrowded.

P.S.: Tell your all your friends.
P.P.S.: Thank you!

That's it. You are now ready to join an existing session or create your own session and invite people to join. When someone creates a new session that fits your availability, your travel zone, and your skill level, you will receive an email.
