Dear Editor:
Re: The Sierra Williams “City Watch” column in the July 18 edition, I am surprised that the city (Palm Coast) will allocate thousands of dollars for more tennis/pickleball courts.
I don’t begrudge the tennis buffs having great courts, maintained by the city. My concern is that the city is laying out so much taxpayer money to provide a recreational facility for such a few people.
It would be interesting to see what percentage of the population ever use the courts. Perhaps the city can find a place to spend the excess tax money that will benefit all, or at least more, of the population.

Editor's Note: The City Council approved a grant agreement with the U.S. Tennis Association for $700,000 to add a stadium court and four clay courts at the Southern Recreation Center, which currently has 10 tennis courts and 12 pickleball courts.
