Saluki screens are already in terrible shape also.

Riverbend at 5 yrs had been in very poor shape for well over a year. Nets and between court netting is held together with tywraps and plastic fencing patches applied by the residents. Rec Dept has been unresponsive to the situation.

Not a great first impression for the Lifestyle people from Wellpoint now using those courts.

In the mean time, unopened courts at San Tropez and Eastport have new nets no one can use until they open.

Agreed about the conditions of the nets at Riverbend. The windscreens were replaced about 2 years ago after the a storm. The old ones were higher and sturdier. I personally hate all the courts with only a low fence and no windscreens between the pickleball and tennis courts.
