Pickleball net at Santa Rita Park kept kids from playing basketball ‘outside’

While walking on our river trail past the basketball courts on May 4, I noticed a large group of young kids (counted 30) trying to play basketball. There was a pickleball net set up stopping them from using the whole court. Why are they there?

We need to promote outside activities for Durango children. Pickleball players should use tennis courts if anything.

Let our youths play outside!
