In Retirement Communities, Some Residents Sour on Pickleball - WSJ (2010)

"George and Janet Dillard bought a home in SaddleBrooke, a 55-and-older community in Tucson, Ariz., where they hoped to meet neighbors with common interests and enjoy the tranquility of the desert and mountain setting.

A fast-growing sport, pickleball is taking active-adult enclaves by storm.

WSJ's Anne Tergesen got a look at how the game is played.
But two years ago, a trio of "pickleball" courts were opened about 100 feet from the Dillards' property.

Their peaceful lives were disrupted, as was the harmony in SaddleBrooke.

The sport's wood and graphite rackets and plastic balls meant "there was a constant banging" when the courts were in use, often from morning until evening, says Mr. Dillard, a former insurance executive. "We had to take action."

Forget shrinking nest eggs or threats to Social Security. The hot topic in retirement communities today is pickleball."

Pickle-ball's Field of Dreams (King5 News 2015)

Bainbridge Island, WA---The old badminton court is overgrown with weeds, tucked away in the woods on a remote island west of Seattle.

But this place is historical, having changed the lives of millions for five decades.

"People flocked in here," says Pickle-Ball co-founder Barney McCallum.

He and his buddy, the late Congressman Joel Pritchard, were hangin' out with their families in the summer of 1965...as they did just about every summer.

On a rainy day, Joel wanted the kids to go play outside.

"There was ping pong paddles. And a baseball sized whiffle ball. And he said go up and hit some balls on that court and get outta the house," McCallum recalls.

They did. And they didn't come back for hours.

Oakmont pickleball plan in Santa Rosa council’s court

"Oakmont’s divisive pickleball debate lands in front of the Santa Rosa City Council Tuesday, with fans of the fast-growing sport expected to face off against residents worried about the noise from four new proposed multi-use courts.

The city’s Planning Commission in December unanimously approved plans by the Oakmont Village Association to build the new courts on a former putting green beside a quiet community pool.

But residents worried about the project’s cost and impact on their poolside views, as well as the incessant plonk-plonk sound created when paddles volley the plastic pickleballs back and forth, have appealed that decision to the council."
