I am not in favor of ever wasting money of research or any sort of surveys. I have had to do many of these while in Palo Alto for redistricting etc and in the end it is a total waste of time and money. It is clear that pickleball is popular and it is a great sport, easy to learn, fun for all ages,...

Dear City Council, I wanted to express some of my wishes for youth sports and field access before Tuesday’s meeting. After last season of many sports being rained out for weeks on end (even if it didn’t rain on that particular day), I have been frustrated with the field access and availability in...
Dear Menlo Park City Council. I feel like we, the Menlo park residents who play pickleball, have been in a battle with the city of Menlo Park for the past three years. We have provided study after study to the parks and rec commissioners. As a resident of Menlo Park for the past 24 years, I...

Please dont let the Parks & Rec department spend $85K on a study about pickleball. As you can see below, there are much better uses of that money. We have done countless surveys and usage studies over the past couple of years and its pretty clear that the city isnt going to convert even one more t...
Honorable Mayor and Council Members; Is the City of Menlo Park celebrating St. Patricks Day this year, particularly since one of our sister cities is GALWAY, IRELAND? Several years ago the City helped form, and financially supported, the formation of the Menlo Park Sister Cities Association. I...

Dear Council Members, I wanted to send a note requesting to not spend @ $85,000 on yet another study. It seems you’ve spent a good deal of time and money studying and analyzing pickleball and the global increase in pickleball is clear to see. The money would be best spent on making some of th...
