Show B-2 The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, August 11-14, 2018 Continued from B-1 Striking a balance Basin Recreation sees the situation differently. “We are trying to be sensitive on both sides,” said Brian Hanton, executive director of Basin Recreation. “Pickleball, yeah, you can pack more people onto a court, but they were originally set up as tennis courts, and I would have a tough time taking away tennis courts.” He said because pickleball players tend to take over courts, making the tennis courts into pickleball courts would mean effectively making them single-use courts. “As much as (pickleball advocates) say there’s not as many tennis players as pickleball players, if you take away two of those tennis courts we would hear the same (complaints) from the tennis community,” he said. says he is disappointed the United Nations will not allow sports equipment to be sent to North Korea. The International Olympic Committee’s request was rejected by the U.N. Security Council Sanctions Committee. Bach says “this makes it more difficult for the IOC to accomplish its mission to bring athletes from all over the world together to promote understanding and friendship regardless of political background or any other differences.” In a statement, Bach added that “it is all the more disappointing because the exemption asked for the easing of restrictions on sporting equip- ment only for a very limited number of athletes.” The IOC played a key role in allowing North Korea to participate in the Pyeongchang Olympics in South Korea this year. Bach says the IOC will “continue to contribute to peace and reconciliation on the Korean peninsula and beyond through sport.” Waiting to play pickleball rec report PARK CITY MOUNTAIN RESORT Park City Mountain Resort is open for the season, including its mountain coaster, zip lines, and summer lift services.

DEER VALLEY RESORT out towards Home Depot,” Pederson said. “That would be the worst place to build pickleball courts. It’s always windy in that tunnel out there. You can’t play pickleball in the wind because the ball is so light.” Willow Creek is by no means the only pickleball venue in town: there are four outdoor courts at the PC MARC, three courts in Basin Recreation’s Fieldhouse, three at City Park, and another four courts at Trailside Park. But for one reason or another the people at Willow Creek liked Willow Creek. “We’ve gone up to Trailside, but we’re only allowed to play there on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings,” Loshin said. Pederson said that, while she respects and understands that brick-and-mortar venues have to cover their overheads, pickleball is traditionally free to the public, like outdoor tennis courts, and tourists who come looking for a game usually show up at Willow Creek as opposed to going to the MARC or Fieldhouse. She added that playing indoors involves a different ball with a different bounce, so it is not the same game. But even the courts at Willow Creek are not perfect. “They did the lines wrong out here,” she said. The lines currently give one side less room to work with, so a player can’t chase down a deep lob or serve.

Hanton said the organization is considering building berms to combat the wind. He said if Basin Recreation doesn’t get that grant, it would reconsider adding pickleball lines on the remaining tennis courts at Willow Creek, but ultimately there are many projects competing for the organization’s money, including an ADA-compliant playground at Trailside. “Do we want to put in that at Trailside, which we know will cost a pretty penny, or do we focus on more pickleball courts for individuals that can only use if for a certain amount of time throughout the year,” he said. “We understand we need more (pickleball courts) and we’re working to do that. We’re just not adding them fast enough for that user group.” Saturday City Hi Lo W Oklahoma City 88 67 t Orlando 90 74 t Philadelphia 84 70 t Phoenix 100 83 t Pittsburgh 78 64 t Providence 78 68 sh St. Louis 88 70 pc San Antonio 91 75 t San Diego 87 75 pc San Francisco 70 52 pc Seattle 73 58 c Tampa 88 79 t Washington, DC 86 72 t Sunday Hi Lo W 83 66 t 91 72 t 83 72 t 104 82 s 78 64 t 80 70 sh 90 68 s 91 76 t 84 71 pc 67 53 pc 78 58 s 88 79 t 86 73 t City Auckland Bangkok Barbados Beijing Berlin Buenos Aires Dublin Frankfurt Hong Kong Jerusalem London Montreal Saturday Hi Lo W 61 45 s 88 79 c 88 81 pc 89 75 t 75 53 pc 60 51 pc 67 59 r 75 52 pc 87 82 sh 87 68 s 72 60 pc 82 63 c Sunday Hi Lo W 60 46 s 88 79 c 87 80 s 87 76 t 79 59 pc 64 50 pc 68 55 sh 83 60 s 89 82 sh 86 68 s 69 59 pc 84 68 pc City Moscow Oslo Paris Rio de Janeiro Rome San Juan Seoul Sydney Tokyo Toronto Warsaw Zurich Saturday Hi Lo W 80 58 pc 66 51 sh 77 59 pc 76 63 s 90 70 s 87 80 t 97 81 s 77 49 s 89 78 t 82 64 s 71 56 t 79 50 pc Sunday Hi Lo W 81 53 s 64 49 r 87 63 s 75 65 pc 89 68 s 90 78 s 95 80 pc 62 48 s 87 80 t 83 67 pc 75 56 pc 84 57 pc Weather (W): s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sf-snow flurries, sn-snow, i-ice. |
