Does the outdoor gym equipment have to be touched to use them? I thought that equipment was off limits at this time.

I don't see why pickleball courts couldn't be opened assuming people could follow social distancing guidelines. Yes, you have to touch the ball but don't touch your face and after each game, wash (disinfect) your hands and the ball. It really could (and should) be a very safe game to play. Only put up 1/2 the nets and that alone would decrease the density on the courts.

I do see the problem with players standing in lines waiting to play and I'm not sure there is a good way to protect against that since too many folks just don't seem to understand. In most of the recreation activities if people would follow the rules they could be played very safely. The few are ruining the opportunities for the many.

Most (no, i did not measure) are minimal physical activity.

A few active hot-shots, but most are dink, dink, point.

Much healthier to walk, run, ride, row.


Refund??..........clueless.

If you want everyone to sign a waiver of liability before entering the courts...fine, I'll sign it.

You want to wear a mask for the rest of your life...fine, it will probably be an improvement.

I'm sick and tired of paranoid germophobes dictating what the rest of us can or cannot do.

God bless America.

Problem solved, we have a bucket of sanitized balls, all 4 players sanitize their hands before the game begins, they get a sanitized ball, play game, end of game ball back into sanitizing bucket. When we wait for the next game we do social distancing. We are Outside, we're not in enclosed in a crowded room. All our lives are going to get down to either keep yourself the safest and don't leave your home at all and let the others get on with their lives and don't be resentful of them. Sometimes it just comes down to choice.

What on earth? Has everyone become insane? Or just a vocal few?

Look...It's really simple....If you want to play pickleball with me or anyone else, you are assuming the risk that you might get hurt, either by getting hit by the ball, falling or impacted by a sneeze, cough or touch containing bacteria, viruses or germs....If you don't want to play, stay home, wear your mask, watch MSNBC and live in fear.

Like I said...it's really simple.
