Fisher said the data will be used to come up with next winter’s plan. Those who play during the pilot program will fill out a survey to provide feedback as soon as they’re done playing. We wanted to get some weekdays, as well as some weekend days where we could allow some mixed use time and then get that feedback from those players across those different days.” Also, there's times where it's dedicated pickleball. “Obviously, we also wanted to make sure that there were opportunities to keep the schedule sort of as is where it is currently dedicated to tennis. “We wanted to get sort of a different aspect from different days and different players,” Johnston said. So, we're just trying to, again, get that feedback to evaluate it.”īetween April 3 and May 7, the day before the bubble is scheduled to come down, Racquet Sports Division Manager Cole Johnston said they are scheduling multi-use play on certain days and times. Other people that may take the game more seriously, or something, it may be a greater impact on them. Some tennis players, it may not impact them. I think there are different levels of tennis players, as there are pickleball players. "But we also just want to test it and see. And we've been out there with decibel readers and we think it could be the case," he said. This pilot program could help sort things out. Fisher said the thought is that it may be too disruptive for those playing tennis. Pickleball uses a harder ball than tennis and its noisier during play. “And if there's a way that we can maximize that use and not impact, a huge impact on the other users, I think it's something we just need to explore so we've got some data for when we make our court usage policy for next winter.” “There are certain times where there may be an empty tennis court,” Fisher said. Fisher said the pilot program is an opportunity to see if playing both sports at the same time is compatible. ![]()
