I am a relative newcomer to the sport of Pickleball having never heard of the game until two months ago. When I was first told about the game I became immediately interested and went to the Ferlazzo building gym to see first hand how the game was played. After witnessing play for awhile and the interaction of the players it did not take long for me to decide this was the game for me. I have been taking lessons and enjoying play every since. Pickleball offers exercise and friendly competition, two things that are very important for a senior citizen like me. I live at the Harbors of Newport in Woodbridge, not far from the Ferlazzo building, and have often observed sadly the unkempt and deteriorating tennis courts there. I cannot help but wonder why the PWC government has allowed these courts to lie fallow for so many years. I wholeheartedly support the idea of refurbishing the courts and turning them into state of the art Pickleball courts which could be enjoyed by children and adults of all ages and skill levels. For example, next to the existing courts at Ferlazzo is an Adult Day Care center. Once the courts are ready for play these seniors that go there could simply walk over the courts and hit the polymer ball around for recreation. I urge the PW Board of Supervisors to approve adequate funding to convert a presently unused facility to multiple vibrant Pickleball courts for the use of residents. I do believe that the benefits gained will far outweigh the costs incurred.
