Reminder: Pickleball Balls in Cold Weather
As winter cold weather continues, remember that pickleballs will not be stored in the ball holders on the courts when the temperature is 50 degrees or below. Pickleballs are removed from the courts if the temperature is below 50 degrees, and returned at 50 degrees. If you are playing when the temperature is below 50, bring your own balls to use to play.
