Get pickleball courts in play

Pickleball commotion?

We could say that about all activities, sporting and, otherwise, around schools, designated picnic and playgrounds, churches, shopping areas, special downtown events and the like. Commotion ... why, yes! Poor choice of words. These activities are welcomed, necessary and part of a vibrant community that is alive and moving forward. Durango residents and the thousands of visitors seem to enjoy all this and more of our great town and what surrounding communities have to offer year-round.

Pickleball is a sport for all ages and has proven to be readily accepted and desired. It’s time to step up and get these outdoor courts in play. It is time to stop talking, analyzing and being fearful of providing what the locals and visitors want. Thank you, Durango Parks and Recreation and the Southwest Colorado Pickleball Association for pushing on. The sooner the better.
