SUPPORT THIS INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
The article you’re about to read is from our reporters doing their important work — investigating, researching, and writing their stories. We want to provide informative and inspirational stories that connect you to the people, issues and opportunities within our community. Journalism requires lots of resources. Today, our business model has been interrupted by the pandemic; the vast majority of our advertisers’ businesses have been impacted. That’s why the SC Times is now turning to you for financial support. Learn more about our new Insider’s program here. Thank you.
ANN WORTHINGTON, San Clemente
It is wonderful that the public parks in San Clemente have opened back up. You no longer need to make a reservation to play pickleball on the courts at San Gorgonio.
In fact, you cannot reserve a court for private play. The play-in system applies to everyone, even if you arrive with a group of four players.
When your game is over, if others are waiting and have paddles ready to play-in, you must relinquish the court.
Unfortunately, some people think the rules don’t apply to them, and they insist on maintaining “their court” and “their group.” That’s not the way it works at the public courts.
San Gorgonio is open to everyone. If you prefer to play only with your group, I suggest the afternoon, when the courts are less busy, or at a private club.
