4.1) Redevelop the 85-acre former Springtown Golf Course with a community park and an 18-hole disc golf course and the addition of four pickleball courts/two tennis courts and a new half-basketball court at Marlin Pound Neighborhood Park.
The annoying, high pitched, and repetitive noise of pickleball MUST be addressed before this project continues. Immediate neighbors surrounding the park and folks who attend Marlin park do not want a pickleball court anywhere near us. Pickleball sounds like firecrackers and dogs at the dog park will be fearful or too stressed to attend our dog park any longer. It will ruin the peaceful nature of our park and draw visitors from outside of Livermore. House values will drop in that immediate neighborhood. Unless complete and proactive measures are taken to significantly sound proof a pickleball court it should not be built at all. This problem occurs everywhere pickleball courts are built and is a serious problem that must be addressed
