Why was I in Naperville?
We wanted to check out the courts, which use Sportcourt surfaces, and one of the courts uses the latest most up-to-date surface.
It was a pretty wet and windy day, so it was hard to get a game going. There was one couple hitting tennis balls but we went to to the other courts and they left shortly after.
We were disappointed in the surface for pickleball. There wasn't much bounce and the surface seemed to absorb much of the bounce. We were packing it up but then we went over to try the other courts.
This had the updated surfaces. The balls bounced higher and it was almost like playing on a cement court. Almost. (The sport courts have concrete underneath).
We had been considering adding a pickleball court to our backyard but the jury is still out. Some more research (cement vs sportcourt) is needed.
If you live in this neighborhood, hope you get out and use the courts. They're in pretty good condition and the one court has the most uptodate surface. read more
