# PLEASE ELABORATE. DATE
1 Too noisy. All the competing lines are distracting. PB courts should be isolated from the tennis courts. Tennis is a game of quiet concentration. Pickleball is noisy and socially raucous. PB courts should not be near tennis
7/7/2024 12:40 PM
2 Pickleball has made booking tennis courts harder 7/6/2024 7:57 PM 3 Noise abatement is excellent. Nets and lining is very good. 7/3/2024 9:09 AM 4 However- the HPP tennis court perimeter is 2' wider than Nealon Park's...therefore there is plenty of room to stripe 4 pickleball courts on the one tennis court like Nealon. 6/29/2024 2:46 PM

5 Confusing question as I take "permanent " to mean it's not joint use... if there are "permanent " pickle nets, how could one possibly play tennis on it? In any case- the one tennis court should be striped for 4 pickleball courts like at Nealon- plus HPP is bigger so there's plenty of room... more courts encourages more players and less waiting to play during drop-in days. Court 1 works.
6/29/2024 2:46 PM

5 There should be alternate reservation days and drop-in days. (If the only way to get this past the City Council is to continue key sales then require drop-ins to be key holders or guests of key holders.) Try M/W/F/Sun for rez and Tue/Thur/Sat drop-in. However- Atherton is THE only town in the area without free Pickleball... so for the past 4 or 5 years, all us Athertonians have been using free courts in neighboring MP, RWC, & PA. We need to be more neighborly! 6/29/2024 2:46 PM

6/27/2024 8:35 AM
7 Shared courts are fine as long as there enough hours for pickleball. Court 1 (the shared court) should be the last one available for tennis. Key holders should have some drop in options. I am a park neighbor as well. Loved meeting new community members through this trial. 6/26/2024 5:11 PM
8 afternoon sign ups are only available T/Th. Often no tennis players are playing then. It would be nice to allow either tennis or pickle in afternoons. It only takes one minute to move nets.
Also if other tennis courts are open tennis folks should sign up for those before taking court 1. 6/26/2024 5:02 PM
9 sound fencing has helped. Build separate pickle ball facilities 6/25/2024 12:17 PM 10 I have played at lots of different Pickleball courts in many towns. The way to go is to put in permanent pickle ball courts like the Ritz Carlton and Half Moon Bay has done. They are a great example.

12 I can’t even tell you how much excitement, joy and community building these pickleball courts are bringing to my friends!!
6/24/2024 9:34 AM
13 I am in favor of pickleball in the park. However, I do think the sound of play is a true issue.
Continued efforts to limit sound disruption is paramount. Concerns and comments from our neighbors at Felton Gables should be listened to and given attentive consideration. A park should be about recreation, and part of that recreation could be accommodating pickleball players. The town, and the players enjoying the park need to be cognizant of the different opinions about the game, and the concerns of non-players. Active compromise by both should be an on-going effort to provide the activity while mitigating the sound. I am a resident of Atherton in nearby Lloyden Park (the "Poverty Pocket" as the great Jim Massey used to refer to it)
6/24/2024 7:08 AM
14 Please allow the pickleball courts to be drop in and please build more. 6/23/2024 8:41 PM 15 Pickleball has been the fastest growing sport over the past three years. Be progressive and hop on the pickleball bandwagon. Make HPP an inviting pickleball destination for all levels of play.

6/23/2024 2:48 PM
21 Love having the ability to play pickleball in HPP. Making the courts permanent would add a lot to the community. For permanent courts, you can get 3 or 4 pickleball courts on a single tennis court which means that 16 people could play simultaneously (like at Nealon Park in Menlo Park)
6/23/2024 2:46 PM

26 I was looking forward to playing, but without drop-in hours, a single player is shut out. Would also love some drop tennis hours with courts separated by level. Also, think about being able to reserve 1 hour singles and 1.5 hours doubles for tennis 6/22/2024 9:01 AM
27 If there are separate courts that can be converted that would work as well. Any thing that will allow for permanent pickleball courts.

28 If there is some demand for pickleball, I would support continued joint use of an existing court between tennis and pickleball. If there is high demand for pickleball, especially if there are donations (a good demand indicator), an existing tennis court could be converted or new courts could be constructed. If the clay court is deemed not suitable for tennis anymore, it could be converted back to a hard court, whether that be tennis or pickleball play. That would keep the number of usable courts for tennis about equal as now. Alternatively, new pickleball courts could be constructed where the tennis hitting wall is currently located. There may be room for two or three courts there.

29 Please make pickleball a permanent option. Thank you! 6/22/2024 7:25 AM 30 Love playing at HPP!!! Please continue to let PB players have a court. 6/22/2024 7:18 AM 31 Pickleball is inclusive for old and young also pickle courts get used more. Build a full time court.

32 Don't do anything permanent until this fad wanes. It's a noisy game, and neighbors already have park noise. The entire town is so noisy with out of control construction, we need some respite. Spend the money on other much needed resources. Staffed offices, employees that answer the phone, planning department that is open longer hours, etc. 6/21/2024 8:55 PM
33 This is a very noisy sport, between the sound of the paddles/balls and the increasing number of players per square area of court. Unless there's a whole new place to put it that doesn't disturb neighbors, park visitors, or others, it just cannot be accommodated. Atherton budget would be much better spent cleaning streets, fixing gutters and drains, and other infrastucture. 6/21/2024 8:52 PM
34 Thank you for conducting the trial and continuing pickle ball fun for Atherton residents at Holbrook Palmer Park.
6/21/2024 8:12 PM
35 I love pickleball and it is a lovely way to meet fellow community members. I will continue to purchase a key if pickleball is perminent.

36 I'm supportive of having pickleball at the Hollbrook Palmer courts. Makes sense, since 6/21/2024 6:04 PM Atherton Pickleball Trial - Assessment Survey

pickleball is so popular, and it's a service/function that our City ought to make available to its residents.
37 The town needs to realize that pickleball is yet another way for our more senior community to gather and enjoy each other.
6/21/2024 6:02 PM
38 Fun times! Great way to meet other residents from the community! 6/21/2024 6:00 PM 39 It would be great to have at least one permanent court and one dual purpose court as the tennis courts are not always used
6/21/2024 5:24 PM
40 Geez guys! Atherton is way behind the times of getting on board with the pickleball craze. It is the fastest growing sport in America, maybe the world. Two courts is not enough and stop with all the questions and get up to speed (no pun intended). 6/21/2024 5:10 PM
41 Not enough folks know about pickleball being available but the ones who do are frequent players. We just started playing PB brand new 2 months ago DUE to the pilot! Now we are avid players 3x per week and have shared PB with 8 friends so far who have begun playing.
PLEASE make some PB courts permanent and INCREASE availability (we often can't play now due to full reservations). Consider option for 90 min reservations if possible. 6/21/2024 5:07 PM
42 If it's not financially feasible to build new pickleball courts than it would be nice to have dedicated courts so converting an existing tennis court would be the next preferable option.
Also, would like Atherton residents to be the only players able to reserve the courts to ensure that the courts are not taken over by other players who do not live in the Town. 6/21/2024 4:55 PM
43 HPP is a jewel of Atherton! It is for all residents - not just dog walkers, not just soccer players, not just tennis players. I love that pickleball has brought in a whole new group of park users 6/21/2024 4:51 PM
44 The pickleball trial has shown how the community can benefit from permanent pickleball courts at HPP. As the trial continues, please consider extending the hours for pickleball use. 6/21/2024 4:46 PM
45 Love playing close to home. Courts are in great shape. Please keep pickleball alive at the park.
6/21/2024 8:58 AM
46 The community is enjoying the pickle trial. Please consider increasing our equity. 6/20/2024 9:39 PM 47 I think the trial is has been terrific, and I very much hope it becomes permanent. I use the courts frequently, I've met new friends here, including nearby neighbors who have been enthusiastic about the pickleball courts.
