Chris “WAZP” Nelson· a year agoPeople playing pickleball are not very friendly to outsiders. It was clear that everyone knew everybody. Being from out of town only two people would actually talk to us.
Kenneth Lugo· a year agoUncomfortable to have a monitor watching senior adults play pickleball. Giving a countdown and handing out behavior rules.
Joi Harvey· a year agoGreat party, a lot of room, and clean
JimmyFreeK1NGPOWERS· a year agoAwesome place. Nice people
