Our Sag Harbor park tennis courts are under siege. There are eight clay courts and two hard courts.
Information was just given at the start of the season that the hard courts will be given over to pickleball, as they were last season, but will be resurfaced and used only for pickleball — not to be shared for tennis, also.
Two of the now eight clay courts, on the upper level, are to be paved this summer, I was told, so that the high school teams can use hard courts for practice in fall and spring.
The timing of this is terrible, at the start of the season. Hard courts are tough on body parts.
There are really only four good clay courts. The four on the bottom are always wet, because of the watering system put in. Ruin, if you must — do it on the bottom. Use the newly resurfaced hard courts for both sports, even though the new decision is a business one.
I am not alone in my opinion.
