Save Seattle Tennis - No Pickleball Lines at Lower Woodland Tennis Courts

Seattle does not have enough tennis courts for the 3.5 million residents who live here and now Pickleball has convinced Parks to get lines striped on many of the tennis courts to make them dual purpose. This has exacerbated the lack of tennis courts problem exponentially and has created conflict between the tennis players and pickleball players. We need to stop adding Pickleball lines to tennis courts and instead build new tennis courts in Seattle and also build dedicated pickleball courts in different areas away from the tennis courts. A proposal has been brought forth to put pickleball lines on half of the 10 tennis courts at Lower Woodland in Seattle. This proposal must be rejected outright. The city should use the $100k+ it receives from reservations for outdoor courts to resurface the Lower Woodland tennis courts as dedicated tennis courts. Please sign this petition if you agree. Only public opinion and outcry can make a difference and action is needed now.
