KENSINGTON, P.E.I. — A feud over proposed pickleball courts in Prince Edward Island has prompted a longtime mayor to throw in the towel.
Pickleball is much like tennis, but players hit a hollow perforated plastic ball, rather than a rubber tennis ball. The balls make a resonant popping sound when players hit them with their rackets, and the noise from pickleball courts has irritated neighbours and drawn complaints across the country. But on Monday, Coun. Ivan Gallant put forward a motion to proceed with a scaled-down version of the project that would leave the town on the hook for roughly $20,000, said Geoff Baker, Kensington's chief administrative officer.Gallant is a member of the local pickleball community, though he denied urging fellow players to fill the chamber for the vote.
