Comment = Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America and reaches all ages and ability levels. I have tried out the rec center and it is a joke (being honest). The city needs public courts like Rotary East in Fresno. You have the space at Leonard and Ashlan 4 permanent courts is all you need for now. It needs to be made a priority. I have spoken to numerous pickleball players and most players on the Fresno courts are coming from Clovis.

Comment = Please consider adding pickleball courts to a park. The sport is growing very fast and the fact that Clovis has no permanent courts is amazing to me.
