On this page The Santa Cruz Pickleball club sites Tennis Round as an accurate source depicting the amount of PUBLIC tennis courts available to the community. Tennis Round is NOT ACCURATE. This has been pointed out to the Santa Cruz Pickle Ball Club MANY TIMES by different people.

THE SANTA CRUZ PICKLE BALL CLUB KNOWS TENNIIS ROUND IS INACCURATE. They have been sent emails about this many times and they have been informed of this verbally at least 20 times yet they continue to present it to the community and resource managers.
They Santa Cruz Pickleball Club is not honest with the Santa Cruz Community or Santa Cruz County and City Resource Managers. A Pickle Ball net can be set up in TWO MINUTES and taken down in ONE MINUTE. youtube.com/watch?v=OPIxM619WYs&feature=youtu.be&t=81 .
This is essential information for resource planners. This information, about the time it takes to set up a pickle ball net, is listed nowhere on the pickle ball site as of 1-29-17 nor is it presented in the letter they want people to send to city resource planners.
The Santa Cruz Pickleball Club is not honest or straightforward with the general community or resource planners.
The Santa Cruz Pickle ball is NOT WILLING TO SHARE COMMUNITY RESOURCES.
They again present lies, false data and information to Santa Cruz City Council Members and the general community.
The Santa Cruz Pickle ball club has no more than 200 members in Santa Cruz County.
You may review that data here at this link and the other report of data compiled on the Santa Cruz Pickle Ball Club. santacruzpickleballcluborg.wordpress.com/ .
The Santa Cruz Pickle Ball Club already has over 30 pickle ball courts in the county of Santa Cruz. This information is on the Santa Cruz Pickleball club Website. santacruzpickleballclub org/courts
They want to remove tennis courts because they DO NOT WANT to SHARE RESOURCES.
Here is a list of Santa Cruz City Council members involved with the decision-making process.
Email them and let them know that the Community of Santa Cruz is about heart, openness and SHARING.
You need to add the @ symbol to email the city council.

The Santa Cruz Pickle Ball Club is NOT WILLING TO SHARE RESOURCES.

Greetings; I have played PB in Santa Cruz and there is a limit of playing time due to a shortage of access to courts. I live on the west side and Darby
park is near my home. The tennis courts also are lined for PB but access in limited to eight hours per week. I don't know who sets up the rules for this facility but the extreme limit for playing time causes problems which spill over to other courts.
It is crowed each and every time the facility is open. This results in being unfair to beginners due to better players keeping on the courts longer due to their status and ability. Plus they will not give up a court on occasion. When I played I was only able to play half of the time I was in attendance. This I believe is caused by the limited hours.
This much I know; Very few tennis players use this facility. The park facility remains closed and empty a majority of the time. This ought to change and allow more access and much longer hours. PS. There is some truth to your complaint but it's way over stated.
