Dear members of the Cupertino City Council, As recently in retirement I started pickleball a year ago. I love coming at Memorial Park to, of course exercise, but also talk during breaks with the community. I played with kids in middle school as well as a 83 years old lady. Exchange ideas for place to go, recipes, have lunches , etc. No appointments, just show up put you paddle in the racks and play. Where can you do this? Please, approve the budget for the Sound attenuation project at Memorial Park.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Cupertino Council Members: I started playing pickleball about 3 years ago at Cupertino Memorial Park (CMP). My friends recommended Memorial Park because the pickleball community was so kind, inclusive, and helpful to new players. Fast forward to now, the pickleball community at CMP has grown to over 1000+ members, and it's still an amazing place for players of all skill levels to play there. It's so wonderful and joyful to see children and seniors playing and laughing together. I can't think of another sport that brings together such diverse groups of people (in age, gender, ethnicity, ...) all sharing the same passion for a game. I can personally attest to the awesome physical, social, and mental benefits of playing pickleball daily at CMP. It's difficult for me to imagine life without pickleball! When I heard about plans to limit or restrict pickleball at CMP, I was both surprised and sad. Our Cupertino Pickleball Club has worked closely with the Cupertino Council to address neighbors' concerns about the noise. We have encouraged players to use quiet paddles before 9am and after 7pm. Most players are sensitive to the noise concerns, and they've purchased quiet paddles to minimize the sound levels. I've played at pickleball courts with noise screens, and the screens are quite effective in containing the sounds within the courts and reducing the noise outside the courts. I believe the addition of noise screen at CMP will great reduce the sound for home owners near the pickleball courts, and it will be a great solution in addressing the noise concerns at Memorial Park.

I am a former Cupertino resident of 10 years. My kids went to Cup schools and I still have many friends there. I enjoy playing with old friends there and would hate to lose that. It is a very inclusive place and while I can afford a quiet paddle, not everyone can. Thank you for your service to Cupertino and your attention to this. Joe W.

Do not click links or open a achments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Please include this as part of the CC package for the 6/16 mee ng. Dear Council Members, As a member of the Cuper no Pickleball Club and community, I am wri ng in support of the noise reduc on screens installa ons along the borders of pickleball courts at Memorial Park. I have been playing at Memorial Park and McKenzie Park since 2022, and pickleball has been an inﬂuen al part of my life ever since. The community that CPC (cuper no pickleball club) has created has been invaluable and essen al to Cuper no and its surrounding communi es. This type of community is so important, and Cuper no should be proud of this welcoming environment created by its community members. I also understand how noise can be a nuisance to the neighbors- Having played at McKenzie Park and Hall Memorial park (Milpitas), where they have the noise reduc on screens, I don’t understand why these screens aren’t the ﬁrst remedy for the noise complaints. Please consider this- as it may help ease the tension between the community and the neighbors.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Mayor Moore and City Council members, I have been a resident of Cupertino since 2022. I started playing pickleball at Cupertino Memorial Park (CMP) Pickleball courts about 2 years ago. It has been a very rewarding experience for me. First and foremost, CMP pickleball is an extremely welcoming community. I have played at a few other public courts in other cities and none of them have such an active, volunteer-driven, and socially engaging community. That the community has been able to maintain this given its growing size (more than 1000 members now) is remarkable! A large number of players at CMP and indeed other parts of the country are benefiting from this highly engaging sport. In my personal experience, the benefits are not just physical/cardiovascular exercise, but it also significantly improves my overall well being. We do understand and appreciate the noise concerns of the neighbors. We want to work with neighbors and the city to address this concern. Since I have a full time job and a young family, I usually only have time in the mornings to enjoy pickleball at CMP. In response to the noise concerns, I and most other morning players have switched to the use of quiet paddles (which are typically more than $100 per paddle) in the morning hours. This shows that the players have made good faith efforts to respond to the noise concerns. As a next step, I strongly recommend that the city council approves the budget for the noise abatement screen. I believe this step is necessary to address the noise concerns while allowing this wonderful community to thrive and serve as a model for other Bay Area cities. The CMP community is eager to support the city in enabling the noise barrier solution. Thank you! Salim Charaniya 11151 Bubb Road, Cupertino, CA 95014
