"CARMEL, Calif. (KGO) -- Carmel is considering implementing California's first permanent ban on pickleball. Earlier this month, the Carmel City Council paved the way for making a temporary ban permanent at the only public court within Carmel city limits. While there are other public and private courts on the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel's ban on the city-run court essentially makes it a city-wide ban."
"The ban stems from years of noise complaints by residents near Forest Hill Park, located in the center of the ultra-wealthy coastal hamlet south of Monterey. In response to these complaints, the city council decided to impose a temporary ban on the sport at the public courts. However, that temporary move appears to be moving toward a permanent ban."
Carmel is considering implementing California's first permanent ban on pickleball. The Carmel City Council recently advanced a measure to convert a temporary ban into a permanent one at the only public court inside city limits. Other public and private courts on the Monterey Peninsula would remain, but banning the city-run court would effectively create a city-wide prohibition. The measure responds to years of noise complaints from residents near Forest Hill Park in the center of the community south of Monterey. Other cities have considered restrictions, but Carmel's move would be the first full ban implemented in California.
