THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION, LET US COME TOGETHER FOR A “TENNIS EVOLUTION”. WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TENNIS COURTS AT LOMA ALTA PARK TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE CALLING FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF ALTADENA TO SIGN THIS PETITION IN SUPPORT OF ADDITIONAL TENNIS COURTS AT LOMA ALTA PARK.
Problems:
1. Extended wait times,
2. Increasing number of arguments
3. Loss of tennis court at Farnworth Park
Benefits:
1. More tennis courts mean that more people can play.
2. More courts will accommodate the increase in tennis players because of covid19 and growing number of new residents that play tennis.
3. During this time of covid19 tennis is one of the safest sports you can play, therefore we should invest additional courts. Social Distancing will continue to be important in the years to come.
4. Increased services for the community and revenues.
5. More opportunity to learn how to play tennis. Boosts brain power: Tennis requires the brain to be creative, and it involves planning, tactical thinking, agility and the coordination of different parts of the body. So the more you play tennis, the better and stronger the neural connections related to those types of activities become, and the better you become at them. In addition to improving neural connections and developing new neurons, studies show that exercises that require a lot of thinking — such as tennis — can actually improve brain function in ways that aid memory, learning, social skills and behavior.
6. *Improves discipline and social skills: Tennis makes you more disciplined because the skills needed to master the game take patience, time and dedication. That’s a lot of time spent practicing and focusing on getting better. Tennis helps you in achieving a better degree of socialization as you have to interact with different players.
7. *Boosts mood: Tennis players are more optimistic, have greater self-esteem and are less anxious, angry and depressed than people who play other sports or are sedentary, according to scientists in Connecticut.

I am in support of this petition. And we can't lose the east tennis court at Farnsworth Park. This is 50% of the courts that are used regularly and many times at full capacity with players waiting for 60 minutes or more. Let's build a dedicated "Pickleball only" court for our spirited and passionate Pickleball community. Don't rob the tennis players of their court.
These tennis courts have always served as an essential refuge to escape the stress of daily life and recreate, and are especially important in this current day and age of COVID. There are a great number of tennis players that live in the vicinity that rely on these courts, and often times there are extended wait times due to its popularity. Thus it’s absolutely necessary to keep these courts as such and build more courts to accommodate for the sheer demand. Thank you.
Tennis is quickly becoming the most popular recreational sport amongst all my friends, family and the community at large. And the wait times to get on the courts clearly reflect that. There simply aren’t enough public courts in LA to accommodate this “new normal”.
We need more opportunities to come together across the racial barriers and play tennis in a county park that allows for plenty of people to enjoy the sport. Tennis opportunities fight the childhood obesity epidemic. Loma Alta Park has plenty of unused space to accommodate more tennis players.
We are in need of more courts for this wonderful game that I love so much. Please allow us to build in our community
We urgently need more tennis courts!
Please support our tennis and build more courts.
