PPPA – WEEKLY EMAIL BLAST

In this week's blast:




      BEAR CREEK PICKLEBALL COURTS SNOW PROTOCOL


    El Paso County Parks maintains Bear Creek Regional Park and therefore makes the determination on whether to close the Bear Creek pickleball courts due to snow/ice and when to reopen them.  EPCP will lock the gates and allow snow to melt naturally so that the Contractor Construction Warranty is not voided.  Any surface damage like has happened to the Monument Valley pickleball courts due to snow/ice chipping and scraping is explicitly the trigger that will void the Bear Creek court warranty. Therefore, usage of snow clearing tools like shovels is never permitted on the Bear Creek courts!

    EPCP will notify Pikes Peak Pickleball Association personnel on the closure and reopening of the Bear Creek courts.  PPPA will broadcast these updates on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ColoradoPickleball).

    Thank you for your patience and understanding as we ensure prolonged enjoyment of this fabulous facility.

    Dong Nguyen

    PPPA Director of Special Projects & PPPA Liaison to El Paso County Parks
