Pickleball players banned from Manhattan park after turf war with kids
Maria Torres, 28, comes to the park at least three times a week with the children she nannies. Torres said the new rules were a net win for the kids, who were scrambling around the playground kicking a ball and shooting hoops Thursday afternoon.“We have all this space,” she said looking around. “Before there was not enough space. We restricted our space. We limit our games because we did not want to disturb them but now that we have the whole space, it’s better.
“I saw them yelling at kids when the kids’ balls would go onto their court. ‘Watch where your ball is going,’ one of the players shouted. The kids were old enough not to cry but that was wrong,” Chicklas said.Robert Feigen, 74, who often comes to the park to roller skate, also celebrated the change, claiming the overzealous pickleball players were at fault in the childish dispute.
“The pickle ball players [were] always here. You could not beat them out. One group would take a net down and another group would take over that space so it was impossible. Now that the jarring cross court action has been banished, Feigen said the park is “roller skating heaven.”
