People living near a proposed multi-million-dollar Pickleball court complex at the Tucker Recreation Center on LaVista Road, say it will spoil their quiet neighborhood.
“Bong, Bong. It’s constant like that. And I work from home most of the time. That would be annoying if I’m listening to it from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.,: Neighbor Jordan Swank told Channel 2′s Tom Regan .
Swank’s home is directly behind a soccer field where she says the Pickleball complex would be built. She and others attended a public hearing Thursday night at Tucker City Hall. They say they were told the complex would feature 12 to 16 Pickleball courts, at an estimated cost of $2.9 million.

“I’m not against Pickleball by any means. But I have heard and read reviews on how loud it is. And the lighting would definitely disturb my well-being.” said neighbor Kellie Kalvelage.
Pickleball is nosier than tennis because of the plastic ball used, and the hollow construction of Pickleball paddles.
