General Discussion – continued frustration that we have no dedicated indoor or outdoor facilities for pickleball. Considered possibilities of what could be achieved, including reaching out to the Justice Institute for indoor space and making a presentation to the Mayor and Council, asking for the lacrosse box at Moody Park to be resurfaced. People have serious concerns about the proximity of the Hume Park courts to the nearby residences. The general consensus is that the money would be better spent elsewhere.
