"If you're one of the thousands of people who call Glen Cove, New York home, there are plenty of things to do both at home and in the community - but if you're looking to take up pickleball without leaving your house's yard, you might encounter a bump in the road. As the Long Island Press's Casey Fahrer reports, the city's government recently implemented a three-month ban on new pickleball facilities on private property."
"The temporary ban is now awaiting state approval; it will also require a review of "the possible impacts on the quality of life for city residents if pickleball courts are permitted."Concerns over the sound of pickleball can go beyond simple NIMBYism. Last year, the Acoustical Study of America released a study that pointed to health issues that could arise as a result to long-term exposure to the sounds of pickleball."
Glen Cove, New York implemented a three-month ban on new pickleball facilities on private property, prohibiting conversion of residential surfaces for pickleball. Mayor Pam Panzenbeck cited concerns about the distinctive sound of pickleball games. The temporary ban awaits state approval and requires review of possible impacts on residents' quality of life if courts are permitted. An Acoustical Study of America linked long-term exposure to pickleball sounds to disrupted sleep, cardiac and neurologic issues, and reported "phantom pops" among participants. A recent Florida brawl tied to pickleball resulted in multiple arrests and about 20 people involved.
