Sad that many players won't leave and let the lower level player have their time. The rec center employees will seldom enforce it even if asked to.
The solution was to join a private group. Most meet at noon or later. A problem when the weather is hot but doable this time of year.

Another solution is to switch to tennis like I’m considering. Seems to be a much more easy-going and considerate sport. And much less crowded too. AND the courts are lighted for night play, so you can avoid the heat and sun, unlike pickleball.
