Neighbors have organized a petition to stop the Al Kruse Tennis Center from converting two tennis courts into pickleball courts.
Organizers say several courts have already been transitioned to pickleball. They say the conversion will leave only four tennis courts, which they believe makes league play difficult.
Parks and Recreation Director Robert Dodd addressed the issue at a community meeting at the Lindale Senior Center Wednesday evening.
"We want them to remain accessible, we want them to be used and we want them to be filled up, so again that's what we're trying to do here," Dodd said.
This was the second community meeting held by Parks and Recreation on the issue. More than 260 people have signed the petition to stop the pickleball conversion so far.
