Boise Pickleball Courts Closed Over Noise Complaints

Imagine a game like tennis, but played on a smaller court with a paddle and a plastic ball.

It's called pickleball, and it's become very popular, especially for older people.

But in Boise, Idaho, the sound of the game was bothering some people who lived nearby.

They said the noise was too loud and constant.

They complained to the city, and after looking into it, the city decided to close some of the pickleball courts.

The residents even asked for a lot of money to pay for the disturbance the noise caused.

This made the pickleball players sad because they liked to play and socialize there.

Some players feel that the city is not supporting their need for a place to play, especially for those who want to stay active and socialize.
