Latest N. Phoenix Pickleball News – August 11, 2020
Hello N. Phoenix Pickleball Players:
For many of our players pickleball has been relatively quiet if not non-existent. I know a group has been playing outside with modified protocols to remain as safe as possible. This is the time of year when normally, the indoor pickleball season begins in Phoenix so I wanted to touch base about a few items that may be of interest.
Parks and Recreation Services Update
********** (Via the web link below) **********
I contacted the Phoenix Department of Parks and Recreation to see if they had any news other than what is posted on their website, but there was no additional or more current information.
The city’s public pools and splashpads are closed for summer 2020. Read a statement about the summer 2020 pool season.
The city’s indoor recreation facilities are temporarily closed.
The city’s outdoor recreation facilities are open normal hours of operation. That includes parks, trails and golf courses. Some park amenities are temporarily closed. Encanto and Rose Mofford sports complexes are temporarily closed. Sports fields are closed for organized activities. #allpks
All large gatherings and events on city park property have been canceled or postponed until further notice. This includes groups and organizations that have a sports field reservation or special activity request. #Homepage #phxaquatics

NOTE – The Washington Post allows a limited number of “free” views a month and then users need to subscribe to see more. If your allotment has been used, you will not be able to read the entire article, although you will get to see the picture and headline briefly before the nag screen shows! ALSO…I have had luck searching for the articles that have been picked up by other websites. As usual, YMMV!
********** Legacy Sports Arena *********
The project has been put on hold for a couple of months and they anticipate starting construction again in early to mid-fall. As I understand it they are going to have twelve pickleball courts and organized leagues/groups.
Anticipated opening is late spring/summer of 2021. I know we all hope that the plan comes to fruition as more pickleball opportunities are good for all of our members.
For those not aware of the Legacy Sports Arena, you can read bout it HERE:

While the pandemic is raging across the world, amusement parks have been mostly closed. The video below depicts some of the more extreme “amusements” around the world.
I have to admit that most of them don’t seem too much like fun to me and I am sure they are a bit pricey as well; given the cost of insurance, etc. Do you think these are fun and enjoyable?
