[Sandi Metz]

All,

City Council is voting on whether to approve the money to complete the renovation at Piney Wood in three days, at the June 5 Meeting on Monday evening. 

It's time to make your voice heard.

You can attend the meeting in person if you choose, but I'm told that submitting a written comment is just as impactful (and doing so has the advantage of requiring almost zero effort.)

Dear City Council Members,

I'm writing to urge you to support agenda item #19, the change order to add funding for the construction of dedicated pickleball courts at Piney Wood Park.

Investing in upgrades to the Piney Wood courts is a wise and important use of city funds. Improving the courts will not only benefit pickleball players but also promote a healthy and active lifestyle for all residents. Additionally, as pickleball continues to grow in popularity, it has the potential to attract visitors to our city to play in tournaments, which supports local businesses and boosts the economy.

Approving this additional funding to complete the Piney Wood pickleball courts is an investment in our community's health, wellness, and vibrancy.

Thank you,
