All counties should be seriously considering installing dedicated pickleball courts. But especially Prince William County- as your mission statement and vision begin the paving for approving this request:
“MISSION STATEMENT
The Prince William County Department of Public Works does the right thing for the community by creating and sustaining the best environment in which to live, work and play. We protect and improve our natural and historic resources, adopt and enforce codes and regulations, and build and maintain the infrastructure needed for employees to serve our community.
VISION STATEMENT
We, as Public Works staff, pledge to continue to build public confidence, conquer all challenges, and demand the best of ourselves.
We will honor our pledge by empowering all employees to provide information and services that exceed our customers’ expectations and make our community the best.
Public Works pursues excellence and will be recognized as a leader for our innovative strategies and programs.”
The benefits of promoting a healthy constituency far outweigh the cost of building and maintaining these courts.
Kids to seniors will be able to join in the indoor/outdoor fun! The interest is growing so fast, and its easy to see why. The range of activity level for pickleball is about the same as tennis- can be played as singles or doubles, as vigorous as bat mitten or racquetball, so it appeals to a wide range of players. And players willing to pay a fee at your facilities from outside your county.
Pickleball gets people of all ages out from the glare of a computer/tv, off the couch, and facilitates losing weight, dropping high blood pressure ,cholesterol, and A1C levels. In this age of increasing obesity and Type II diabetes diagnoses, the cure of dedicated courts in your county is a no brainer.
Wouldn’t it be great to add “Pickleball” on your website under Recreation, Sports, Health and Wellness, and Senior Programs?
This is truly an opportunity for you to exemplify your belief in your mission and in your vision of being a leader of contemporary county administration.
