Hello,
My name is Mark Whitfield and my family and I are Danville residents and big pickleball enthusiasts. We heartily encourage the expenditure of city funds to expand pickleball facilities
in our town. There is a serious shortage of courts in our area and the situation will only get worse, as people are picking up pickleball today faster than America became involved
with tennis in the 1980's. It is not uncommon today to find tennis courts sitting empty while adjacent pickleball courts are packed with people signing up on white boards, waiting
for their turn to play.
Osage would make a great location to place more courts. It is flat, already has a parking lot and is a known location (like Rudgear, Willow Pass) for the pickleball community. A facility
of 8-12 lighted courts would make Danville a go-to place for the pickleball community. We are so pleased that Danville is ahead of the curve on this recreational juggernaut.
Feel free to contact us if you would like additional information.
Thanks,
Mark and Ellie Whitfield
