Do you live within a 5-mile radius of Huntington South Park (located at 13311 11th Street Bowie, MD 20715)? Yes, I live nearby
Which age range do you fall within? 45-54
Do you or anyone in your family play Pickleball, Tennis, or both? Both
How often do you play Pickleball? A few times per week
Where do you currently play Pickleball? Fox hill park
What do you like least or can be improved where you currently play Pickleball? No courts dedicated to pickle ball. You have to set up a net when you play
How often do you play Tennis? A few times per week
Where do you currently play Tennis? Fairwood and fox hill park
What do you like most about where you currently play Tennis? Fairwood is in walking distance
Do you prefer Dedicated Pickleball Courts or Dual-Use Courts (Shared Court lines with Tennis)? Dedicated Courts
Do you prefer Indoor or Outdoor Pickleball Courts? No preference
Do you have any additional thoughts about Dedicated Pickleball Courts vs. Dual-Use Courts (Shared Court lines with Tennis)? It’s not convenient to set up pickleball nets every time you want to play. It discourages people who would want to play, especially our seniors and younger kids because it’s to heavy to pull out and put them together. Although it’s nice that PC County has provided containers with pickleball nets I found that some of the containers are locked at certain parks so you have no way of accessing them. It’s also distracting for the tennis players who now have extra lines all over the courts.
Are there other park locations in Bowie you feel would be appropriate for Pickleball? Fox hill park is a great location to build dedicated pickle ball courts. It has enough room to build 6 to 12 courts and they have lights already.

Where do you currently play Pickleball? Bowie Community Centers, Bowie City Gym, Foxhill Park, Whitehall Pool & Tennis, Anywhere we see a court!
What do you like most about where you currently play Pickleball? They have courts to play on...love that Foxhill has lights as well. Restrooms nearby are good to have also.
What do you like least or can be improved where you currently play Pickleball? Dedicated courts with permanent nets would be greatly appreciated. It would be ideal to have a court where we don't need to set up the net each time.
How often do you play Tennis? About once a month
Where do you currently play Tennis? Whitehall Pool & Tennis
What do you like most about where you currently play Tennis? It's very close to home.
What do you like least or can be improved where you currently play Tennis? Lights would be good.
Do you prefer Dedicated Pickleball Courts or Dual-Use Courts (Shared Court lines with Tennis)? Dedicated Courts
Do you prefer Indoor or Outdoor Pickleball Courts? Outdoor Pickleball Courts
Do you have any additional thoughts about Dedicated Pickleball Courts vs. Dual-Use Courts (Shared Court lines with Tennis)? Outdoor and Indoor Courts would be great for the community. Pickleball is growing and an amazing community building sport. People of all ages can play competitive games together. Participants deserve the same that Tennis and Basketball players experience, they should be able to show up to a court and play without setting up a net and taking it down every time. This would also reduce the "conflict" between sports since right now Pickleball is played on either Tennis or Basketball courts.
Do you have any additional thoughts or comments about the existing Tennis Courts or proposed Pickleball Courts at the Huntington South Park? I'm happy to help in the process and advocate for dedicated Pickleball Courts. We have so many underutilized Tennis courts in Bowie already, let's share the joy and grow this amazing community building sport. There is so much opportunity for young kids to thrive at the sport, we need the infrastructure for the community to play! This sport has a low cost associated with starting to play and is accessible to a wide range of people.
Are there other park locations in Bowie you feel would be appropriate for Pickleball? Yes. Meadowbrook playground/park on Moylan Dr would be a fantastic location also. In 5 years, I have seen only 1 tennis player other than myself and family there. I also think many of the current Tennis Courts could potentially convert one Tennis Court at a location into two Pickleball Courts and there would still be enough opportunity for all participants for both sports. Thank you!!!

What do you like most about where you currently play Pickleball? Centrally located to everyone I play with
What do you like least or can be improved where you currently play Pickleball? Tennis leagues can reserve 3 out of 4 courts but we have no way of knowing when until we get there.
How often do you play Tennis? Never

Do you have any additional thoughts about Dedicated Pickleball Courts vs. Dual-Use Courts (Shared Court lines with Tennis)? It can take a while to get used to the two sets of lines on dual use courts. I’ve actually never played on a dedicated pickleball court-even the gym has basketball lines.
Do you have any additional thoughts or comments about the existing Tennis Courts or proposed Pickleball Courts at the Huntington South Park? I play with a group that comes from a variety of places(South Bowie, Crofton, Somerset). The Huntington courts are only convenient to one of us.
