Pickleball pops at Recreation Park

What is pickleball, you may ask? Pickleball is a sport in which two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard pastime but quickly became popular among adults as a fun game for players of all skill levels.

A dedication ceremony was held on Saturday, Dec. 13, at Recreation Park. Above, fron left, Jill and Glenn Dembroff, Vice Mayor Warren Gubler and Dan Fox cut the ribbon to open Visalia Parks and Recreation Department new pickleball courts behind the Anthony Community Center at Recreation Park on Saturday.

Outreach meetings on district maps Jan. 20, 28

Have a Voice and help draw the boundaries for 2016 district elections.

The public is encouraged to submit their ideas for how the five district boundaries for the City Council elections beginning in 2016 should be drawn. Public participation kits are available online or at City Hall. Plans are asked to be submitted by Jan. 15 to Doug Johnson of National Demographers Corporation by email at [email protected].

To date, 12 maps have been submitted by citizens. At the Dec. 2 meeting, Johnson presented all maps submitted by the public and each were allowed to speak on their individual maps. In addition, Johnson also presented three considerations for Council discussion.

Two meetings will be held to discuss maps submitted, and the process moving forward. The meetings will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 20 at Annie Mitchell Elementary School, and Wednesday, Jan. 28, at Oak Grove Elementary School. Mr. Johnson will facilitate the meetings, show the maps submitted by the public and also discuss the district election mapping process. It's the Council's goal to have a final map approved by June 30.
