Bes des, t s always bette to have mo e people t ying to figu e out a solution than just a few. I ve nclude a photo of the ice on the cou t when we t ied to play today. As you can see, two enti e cou ts we e unusable, due to seve al inches of ce buildup emaining at 10 30 am -noon. P esently, the NBRC p ckleball cou ts a e now educed f om 8 (a few months ago) to 2. This s ext emely f ust ating and upsett ng to the playe s at NBRC. I m glad you sa d that, “ If we dete m ne that the shade c eated by the wind sc eens is impacting play, I would be happy to have a follow up discussion to b ainsto m futu e options.” Looks like we def nitely need to b ainsto m futu e options.

I app ec ate it. Othe places that have w ndsc eens do oll up thei sc eens and t hasn t esulted in any wea and tea . Not only s the shade f om the sc eens esulting n shade but in a few inches of ice (f om ou fi st sto m). We can t shovel it because (as equested by P&R) we only use plastic- edged shovels and we take g eat ca e not to damage the cou ts. I helped shovel today and I m going to play at 10 30 tomo ow, so how about if I epo t back on the shape of the ice? Maybe t will have melted despite being in the shade today . That would be the best scena io. I l keep my f nge s c ossed and let you know. Sound good? Thanks again, Ba b On Oct 30, 2023, at 5 23 PM, Schuttenbe g, Scott schuttenbe gs@boulde colo ado.gov> w ote H Thank you fo each ng out about the wind sc eens that we e installed on the tennis/pickleball cou ts at the No th Boulde Rec eat on Cente this summe . The sc eens we pu chased a e ve y du able and a e intended to stay up all yea . They we e p ofessionally insta led, and the metal zip ties help educe damage f om the wind and ensu e the nets stay in place. Taking the sc eens down would equi e sto age fo the winte and having them p ofessiona ly installed again next sp ing, so we've decided to leave them up this winte to see how they fai . Wh le I app eciate you suggestion of swapping the metal ties with ca abine s, I don't believe o ling up nets and p oviding ca abine s is a good opt on at th s time. I wo y that oll ng up the nets would be difficult and esult in damage to the wind sc eens. I know shade esults in slowe melting times, but ou hope s that once snow has been clea ed the e wi l be minimal impact on play. If we dete mine that the shade c eated by the w nd sc eens is impacting play, I would be happy to have a follow up d scussion to b ainsto m futu e options.

Hi Al , Happy Monday! I ve got a quest on fo you ega ding the netting on the P ckleba l cou ts. Would it be possible to emove the metal z p ties? It would be eally g eat to put on ca abine s so that on snowy days we could oll them up and let the sun melt the ice and snow. If you look at the cou ts ight now, you ll see that the e is solid ce whe e the cou ts a e in the shade due to the netting. Eve yth ng else was melted by noon today. Othe wise I m not su e if we ll be able to use two of the fou emaining cou ts. Rega ding cost, I d be happy to check with Cliff and Boco P ckleba l to see if they could pay fo the ca ab ne s if that is an issue. Thank you so much, All e, I app eciate all you help, Ba b
