Your exaggerative examples don't apply for several reasons, one being that free running shoes, and free golf carts have never been included in the amenities package. You could, I suppose, go to the proper decision making authorities on what should be included in the amenity package, and present your arguments. I'm sure they'd be well received.

Applying sensible degrees of magnitude to our discussion, we can see that the cost of pickleballs is closer to the cost of the daffodils planted in the common areas, than the cost of free running shoes, or golf carts.

Perhaps they should also supply rackets?

Fishing lures for the fisherman?

Tires for bicyclists?

Do they supply tennis balls, for tennis players?

The order of magnitude isn't the issue, it's the judgement of those in charge. Like the $1,000,000 Lake Miona Walking Trail.
