Letters to the Editor: No Pickleball At Cost of Kathy Glode Park

To the Editor:

While I fully support more recreational facilities in Saratoga, I believe the destruction of a frequently used public park to construct a half million dollar Pickleball facility for 25 or so people would be a significant misuse of public resources. If public property is to be used to construct the facility, perhaps the now vacant property adjacent to the Community Garden would be a better location.

Given the longterm failure of the Town to construct the Never Forget Park, no public funds should be expended to construct a Pickelball facility. Such an expenditure of public funds would be a slap in the face of all Saratoga veterans. The Pickelball folks should have no problem raising the necessary funds from private sources.
