Wellesley’s Pickleball Project Pushback Leads to Pledge for In-Person Discussion

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.

Public Participation Hindered

Unfortunately, not everyone interested in attending the online meeting could gain access. Despite the technical glitches, several participants expressed their concerns about potential traffic increases and environmental impacts associated with the proposed courts. Their voices reflect a community grappling with the implications of the project.

Moving Forward

For those who missed the discussion, a recording of the Sept. 30 meeting is now available on Wellesley Media, ensuring that the conversation continues and that all community members stay informed about the developments.
