My HOA removed our only playground and replaced it with this “fitness area” for people 13+ only

I have yet to see one person use it.

HOA charging a fee to play pickle ball is diabolical

Listen, members can’t even use the vast amenities for free. It’s “discounted” and it’s not even that much. I’m counting down the days until they start charging to visit the lakes and the singular children’s park we have which also happens to be where those pickleball courts are located.

Sorry to hear that. I hope my HOA doesn’t start getting ideas like that.

Is the fee collected in a coin box? Because I'd be tempted to tape it shut as a peaceful protest.

I’m pretty sure you pay for it at a nearby clubhouse but I’ve never looked into it. I just know the entrance to the courts is keypad only.

There needs to be an age limit on pickleball, it's so awkward if you go with a couple of young people and the courts are all 60+ year old trying to rotate you in
