Wellesley’s Pickleball Project: In the wake of technical difficulties that plagued an online hearing regarding the proposed pickleball courts at the Morses Pond parking lot, the Wellesley Recreation Commission has committed to holding an in-person meeting. This move aims to ensure that community members can voice their opinions and engage in meaningful dialogue about this exciting development.
A Community Divided
Earlier notifications confirmed that the Sept. 30 meeting would take place, spotlighting the town’s efforts to strike a balance between the needs of local residents and the growing interest in pickleball. The consultants hired by the town delivered a detailed presentation during the online session, discussing vital aspects such as stormwater management and sound mitigation. These considerations are crucial as the town evaluates the feasibility of adding courts at Morses Pond.
