Please help us keep our neighborhood park tennis courts in tack. We are being pushed to be removed and place Pickle ball courts where tennis courts have been for almost 50 years. There are many other location where they can play, however they want to come and take over our two courts. If you love Tennis and have played there PLEASE sign this petition.

The city council continues to dodge our emails about preserving these courts for actual tennis players. They think if they ignore us long enough we will just give up and walk away.

The city bureaucrats thought we would just roll over and let them pave over fifty years of history for their pet project. This momentum proves they underestimated us and now they have no choice but to pay attention.

Please save our courts,I ve played there over the years.They are in a central location of Monterey.Tennis is a sport ,for all ages , and will be played forever.
I grew up playing here and these have been here all my life. Please find the Pickle ball players somewhere else to play.
This is ridiculous! We have played on those courts for over 50 years!!! Does anyone on the parks commission play pickle ball?? You don't need them, those tennis courts are used all the time, Come on Monterey what are you thinking!! The Mayor plays tennis!!!! Take away take away that's all the council does!!!
NOONE asked for the courts to be removed. Currently 18 -20 people enjoy playing pickleball there on MWF morning, and in 2 months there has NEVER been a conflict with tennis players. The different color lines are for pickleball, played with a paddle and a ball that looks like a whiffle ball, and with 4 on a court (pickleball 101 on UTUBE). We were only asking if the city would let us keep 2 portable nets off to the side because TWO Pickleball courts can fit on ONE tennis court., AND the # of people wanting to play is increasing. PLEASE be TOTALLY informed before you believe that our local Monterey Pickleball club wanted the tennis courts removed. We are all former tennis players!!!
My mom grew up playing tennis there. And its a great court to learn to play. As well as within walking distance for folks without a car or DL. HOW ABIUT THIS IDEA..... Put adjustable nets on the courts the BOTH Tennis AND Pickleball could be played there....but WHO plays Pickleball??????
These are Tennis courts and the integrity of them should not be altered. I learned how to play there and want to continue to play there.
DON"T take our courts!!! These were and are designated as TWO TENNIS courts. Please find them a place to play other than our Park.

This Park means so much to so many. It is filled with Memories that mean something. This should matter. Not everything should be paved over in the name of progress, if doing so crushes hearts. Memories are meant to be treasured and honored for future generations. Beautiful the way it is. Please reconsider and respect the feelings of those who love this Park.
