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.
Good. Stripping platform tennis cages better idea nearly same dimensions as pickleball courts. May be same I haven’t look up the small differences.
