The Columbia Association is now in the process of developing a 5 year strategic plan. Here is a link to the plan and information on the May 9th resident speak out. www.columbiaassociation.org/columbia-association-5-year-strategic-planning-process/
We have had some successes with CA (i.e. Owen Brown courts) and some failures (i.e. Ice Rink and Locust Park permanent pickleball courts). This is a time to show that we want to be on CA's "radar" when they plan new facilities. If you can attend the speak out on May 9th great. If not then you can email your comments. Here are suggested things to say but individualize your response. "As a member of the Howard County Pickleball Association and an avid pickleball player, I hope CA will include a well established pickleball program that provides dedicated pickleball facilities for both indoor and outdoor use. Pickleball is a growing sport both in the senior ages as well as the children of our community. It would be great to see CA establish a plan that offers various facilities and organized play sessions to support this fast growing sport."
