Keep Our Courts Playable and Safe
We strive to schedule maintenance in advance, typically between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM, but that is not always possible. Please be patient and allow us a few minutes to complete our work.
We appreciate your help in maintaining our courts:
Leave the maintenance to us! Please don’t:
Mark the courts with paint or tape.
Alter or move the permanent nets.
Clean up after yourself:
Return adjustable pickleball nets to the side of the courts
Remove all trash and belongings when leaving the courts.
Leave your pets at home:
We love our furry friends, but they can accidentally damage the court by scratching, digging, and urinating.
Other prohibited items:
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking
Bikes, skateboards, and rollerblades
Glass containers
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us provide accessible wellness opportunities for our growing community.
