BUT PICKLEBALL IS FUN!?

• Pickleball creates noise that is extremely loud, disrupting surrounding areas and homes, all day, every day

• It lowers the value of surrounding homes, often making them unsellable, lowering the value of comps for the whole neighborhood

• Glen Abbey’s decision to move forward is based on a flawed noise study - don’t believe us? - read the analysis by following the “learn more” link below

• According to its own study, it will drive noise at the clubhouse and pool well beyond acceptable noise ordinance levels all day, every day, affecting enjoyment of those amenities

• The change will impact the quality of life of nearby homeowners, several just yards away from the court. Even with noise abatement efforts two homes will experience sound levels beyond those deemed appropriate by the Board’s own expert

• The Board is relying on the homeowners’ use of very expensive noise-reducing rackets and covers with NO PLAN to enforce their usage. Even with them in effect, the noise coming from the courts will be equivalent to office noise / people talking on our property all day every day for nearby homes and amenities

• The conversion of these courts will be extremely costly

• The surrounding area has plentiful free public pickleball options for residents
