Talk Story Beginner pickleball / tennis areas

2 Upvotes

Would anyone happen to know of pickle ball or tennis areas that are welcoming to beginners? I’m hoping to find a community park or something similar around the Salt Lake / JBPHH area. Can be on or off base since I have access. I’m not new to the island but I just moved to the salt lake area and I’m trying to get out of the house more. Thank you for any info!

City & County Employee!!

Why is it a petty misdemeanor, because she is only 28 years old and protected because she a C&C employee?

Where is your outrage on that MAYOR!! A DUI charge is a DUI charge!! Why isn’t MADD stepping in and calling for more accountability? HPD Chief Lazar step up.

1) If it was any member of the public the penalty would be more severe. 2) Why is the information being kept silent from the public?
