A battle is playing out in San Francisco between tennis players and pickleball players. There was a community meeting held Thursday and it was standing-room only regarding what to do with courts at Stern Grove.In San Francisco, there was a match between tennis players and pickleball players Thursday night.
Last year a water main leak caused flooding, damaging tennis courts there that were shared space with pickleball. "We want to make sure there are tennis courts for everyone who wants to play tennis," said Martha Ehrenfeld, Tennis Coalition of San Francisco Co-Chair. Rec and park said there are currently 139 tennis courts citywide and pickleball has 59 with only 11 courts dedicated solely to the sport.
"Until pickleball, I've never seen as diverse a community, racially, socially, age and economically ever," said Nate Valentine, a self-described addicted pickleball player. "We don't support those courts being converted to pickleball permanently. We'd like to see those courts reopened as tennis courts with pickleball striping," said Seth Socolow, executive director of San Franciscans for Sports and Recreation.
