I don't see any sense in comparing PB with Tennis in this thread. The point was that there are many more PB players HERE than tennis players and that there are long lines at the PB courts waiting their turn to play. Reason? Folks tend to play in the mornings when it's cooler. Heat can be dangerous as you all know, especially for seniors. The only point referring to tennis courts was the possibility to use them for PB. Since that encroaches on tennis playing, that should be ruled out. The only/ONLY answer is to make more PB courts in areas where PB is the most popular. There seems to be plenty of room to expand at most of these rec centers, IF one does not mind taking a bit of the parking area. How one plays PB compared to how they play tennis and how dangerous one sport is compared to another had nothing to do with the OP's subject of long lines at the PB courts.
