Pickleball Court Wind Screens
 
Hey Villages Recreation.... how about prioritizing the replacement of wind screens you removed months ago. Thank you very much.

Have you contacted them directly?

If they don't have replacements immediately ready, they shouldn't take the old ones down. IMHO

I don't think the Villages Recreation reads this forum, you should contact them directly.

They probably go cheap and only put 1/2 screens. IMO no screens better than foot ground and 5 foot open at top. Early morning on windwards sides humidity condensation makes courts wet. Good luck when you contact Rohan.

I seriously doubt "Villages Recreation" reads this board.

Weeks ago, I heard they were going to be 3 weeks to a month delay on putting some of them up.
Wouldn’t it be wise to have the wind screens in hand then have the crew go tear down the existing screens and then while they are there, put up the new screens? Too logical?
I’ve seen them tear down the screens for an incoming hurricane and it took the crew about 10 mins to whip them down. So in 1/2 a day, they could take down and put up wind screens for 6 courts, little longer for ezell, Rohan, and Everglades.

They are replacing the ones at Churchill this week.

PCVG and TVPCP may have more clout than any individual pickleball player. They could submit a petition.

Rohan, he could care less

Those two organizations, which are not official Village organizations, are ruining Pickleball in the Villages by taking up increasingly more Pickleball court time. They run 50+ people off the Pickleball courts in the morning for a handful of others not from the area. If they are going to take away court time from owners it should be between noon and 4.

agree, open times till 10 am league Beginning times and advance beginners times 10 to noon should have sunrise to moon times, no private court time before noon.

Nice, we are paying for wear and tear of other people using the courts? Seems if they check the pools for resident cards the courts should be the same consideration? Have you contacted anyone at TV about it?

Eisenhower and Big C were without wind screens for 6 months. The stated back then they have to be custom made. I guess they never thought about overlapping the ends.

MrFlorida 03-31-2025 08:11 AM

They should convert a few unused tennis courts to pickleball courts... most are not used .
