BERLIN – Pickleball lines will be added to the tennis courts at Stephen Decatur Park.
On Tuesday, the Berlin Town Council voted unanimously to allow local nonprofit We Heart Berlin to move forward with plans to add pickleball lines to the courts at Decatur Park. The nonprofit raised $3,500 to fund the project.
“Without the help of folks like We Heart Berlin projects like this would probably be years in the making,” Mayor Zack Tyndall said.
Tony Weeg of We Heart Berlin told the council he was approached by someone who wanted to make a donation toward having the park’s tennis courts striped for pickleball.
“We know pickleball is a big sport that’s growing rapidly,” Weeg said.
Oh goody, goody, goody!
Tony Weeg is a moronic disciple of Fake Jake Day!
Pickleball is just the most recent bunch of BS. NO public funds should be spent on it. It’s a fad that will end before you know it. Like public skateboarding parks that now are just pot smoking lounges.
They’re literally just painting new lines on already existing tennis courts. It’s not like this is some massive construction project.
Ruining perfectly good tennis courts for a stupid fad. Toke up bruv!
