Dear City Council members,
As an avid pickleball player and as an advocate for Gilroy pickleball courts, I would
recommend to build 6 courts. It is the experience of our Morgan Hill counterparts that they
wished they built 6 instead of 4, as their courts are always busy. Lighting is also highly
recommended, especially as the seasons change and the days get shorter, this will allow for
those who work to still be able to get exercise. I play pickleball every day and have even
begun winning tournaments. I will be in the National competition in San Diego this November
and this sport has changed my life. Please consider these options as they are based on the
experiences of seasoned pickleball players.
Thank you.
Regards,
Cheryl Ellemberg
