A Parks Department presentation for a renovation project at Hell's Kitchen Park on Thursday night turned into a heated referendum on the trendy racquet sport, pickleball.
Parks’ plan for the renovation involves replacing the asphalt on two worn out practice basketball courts, repainting the park’s handball courts and converting what is now a volleyball area to a pickleball court. The agency will install a six-foot fence to stop stray balls from bouncing between the pickleball and basketball courts.
Shortly after, another member questioned Parks’ decision to include a pickle ball court, suggesting that the sport was not amenable to children. “The area isn’t just populated by children, it’s mixed people, adults, old people, children and, I think people are asking for pickleball,” added committee member Sally Greenspan.
“The other misnomer is that youth in the neighborhood would not play,” citing a youth pickleball league nearby.
