🏓 Tucker's Pickleball Debate Heats Up as Supporters Make Their Case

Pickleball supporters packed Tucker's March 10 city council meeting to advocate for the proposed complex at the recreation center, pushing back against weeks of opposition from nearby residents.

Supporters urged the council to make a decision on the $3 million project, which includes 12 courts costing about $650K, plus parking improvements and stormwater control. One pickleball player, Sheryl Cherico, expressed concern that the ongoing debate was dividing the community: "If this doesn't come to a vote, we're all going to hate each other."

The council is currently exploring alternative locations at Henderson Park, though this has raised concerns from the Tucker Youth Soccer Association, which uses fields there for its growing program of 2.1K participants.

While opposition has focused on noise, light pollution and traffic concerns, there seems to be some willingness to compromise. Heather Hale, who previously threatened litigation over the project, now says she supports pickleball courts, just "not at the expense of green space."

No vote has been scheduled yet as city staff continue evaluating options.
