Concerns About the Court
Update to 3/9/23 Community Input Call regarding Proposed Volleyball Court:
One of the concerns expressed during the Community Input Call was the level of noise that may come from evening volleyball games into the homes closest to the proposed court location. In pursuit of evaluating this concern, D14 Park Board Member Rudy Karimi and FOTP volunteers attempted a volleyball game in the evening on the proposed site. Please review the attached video to see method and outcome.
Let us know if you have questions after reviewing.
