Episode Notes
If you’ve been listening to our podcast you know that I like to shine a light on collaboration and ways to participate in local decision making. Pickleball at Darden Towe is a particularly fun example of what can happen when community members engage local government to advocate for a project, rally support, and make things happen. In this episode, we’ll learn a bit about pickleball and hear about how community members worked with our local city and county governments to create dedicated pickleball courts. Kayla’s enthusiasm is infectious and I hope listening to this episode inspires you to venture out onto the court sometime soon.
