🎾 Paws Off the Court, Please! 🐾
We have noticed several people using the new court in Twin Oaks Park for an off-leash dog run. While we love our four-legged visitors, our tennis and pickleball court has a strict "NO DOGS ALLOWED" policy inside the fence.
Why the rule? Turns out pups are secretly court-destroying machines:
• The Zoomie Effect: Dog claws running on the surface act like sandpaper, wearing down court finish and leaving unsightly scuff marks.
• The Dirty Tracking: Mud and debris from paws ruin court traction
• "Chemical Hazards": Bodily fluids (especially urine) contain natural acids that chemically break down and erode court materials over time. (Acid-damaged spots make for very unpredictable bounces!)
Unless your dog can grip a paddle and hit a mean kitchen dink, please leave Fido outside the fence! 🐶
