Indoor Courts Lighting Update

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Sun City Pickleball Club president Steve Oaks recently provided an update on the lighting situation for the eight-court indoor pavilion at Marinette Recreation Center. He spoke with club member, Rich Peterson, who is on the Long Range Planning Committee of the Recreation Centers of Sun City. An upgraded lighting system has been approved by RCSC and is in the 2019 budget. Also, awnings have been approved for along the top of the fences of the pavilion, to block unwanted sun (and likely deter birds from entering the pavilion). Steve Oaks and Rich Peterson worked with specialists concerning bids for upgraded lights and awnings. They presented the information to RCSC assistant general manager Chris Herring.

Stages of Life

By Kevin Pates

A Belgian television crew was in town recently, filming for an upcoming production which will highlight the stages of life. The crew has a number of international stops, but only one in the United States — Sun City. And one of the stops here was for pickleball at the Marinette courts. The director said filming began last November and he hopes to be completed by September. The Sun City Pickleball Club is to receive a video copy of the finished documentary. Here are a few photos from March 14.
