    Would it change the whole game to have a paddle with a sound deadening surface on it? If all paddles were the same it would seem to me that the players would adapt and the incessant noise might be lessened a lot?

    There are people who will complain about anything! These are the "Karens" of society! When I was a kid up north we played stick ball in the street. "Karen's" existed back then too. They said We were having too much fun and making noise. We had no park near by. So the neighborhood precinct put a cop car to watch us kids. The noise didn't go away, but the "Karens" did. As to the black wall, different Art work will improve the look. From Van Gogh to great graffiti, why not?

      Yes they chose to live opposite the park (presumably before pickleball had begun there) but then the increase in noise is an unpleasant addition that they hadn't signed up for. What if the noise was from gigs being played there in order to make money for the council, would they not have a right to complain about that either?

      @EmperorsNewWardrobe 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@JB77776 you’ve added a factor about poverty that was irrelevant to this discussion. Assuming the people living there moved in before they were pickleball courts, of course they’re going to complain about an unexpected new noise that they didn’t sign up for. Sure, changes in the park are a liability for anyone moving in, but if enough of those settled residents complain, the council might just do something. In that sense, it’s wise to complain if you don’t like disturbance!

    • @MooseJamalo
      @MooseJamalo 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@EmperorsNewWardrobe I understand what you're saying but the pickleball is being played on existing tennis courts that have been there forever but weren't being used as much. Granted, pickleball is louder than tennis but it's not some crazy departure from what was there before. Public spaces are for the broader community, not just the immediate neighbors. Being close to the park is a privilege and comes with lots of positives. If someone only wants the good parts but none of the bad parts, and they want to deprive the community of a public space to enjoy an activity that gives them exercise and socialization, then in my mind they are being entitled and unreasonable. Same as if I got an exit row seat on an airplane and said "Thanks for the additional legroom but no thanks to learning how to operate the door".
