To the Editor:

It is with disappointment that we read Carol Fuoco’s letter applauding Long Beach Township’s unfortunate and misguided decision to prohibit pickleball play on the Acme tennis courts (“Players Thankful,” 8/4). The large number of people regularly waiting to rotate into pickleball games on the Bayview Park courts is a clear reflection of the game’s tremendous popularity and the need for more pickleball court capacity within the township.

Allowing both pickleball and tennis play on the vastly underutilized Acme tennis courts is the perfect solution.
