Last year I reached out to the Recreation Department with the idea of taking ONE PART of the 2 tennis courts, striping for PB, and having a portable net so when the PB courts are jammed, and nobody is playing tennis, people could at least go over there and warm up, or if a couple just wanted to practice a bit they could do that. I even suggested a big bold sign stating that any tennis players would have preference and picklers would have to leave the court if the space was needed for tennis. I got an emphatic "NO". I was told that if I couldn't find a PB court near me (I'm in Poinciana) I should travel down to one of the newer areas like Franklin (an hour by golf cart) and see if they had a court open.
