Minor complaint: The basketball courts are really dusty and therefore slippery. I thought maybe it was just the one set of courts but it’s all of them. I realize it’s probably because it’s winter and there’s a lot of salt and things being tracked in by people who don’t bring their basketball shoes separate, but it’s still really annoying to play on your courts. How am I supposed to break someone’s ankles if I cant hit a proper crossover because I’m sliding around? It’s also obviously a safety problem if the courts are slippery. Would it be too much to ask to just have someone go up and down the courts with a broom, maybe in the afternoon sometime just to refresh the courts? If you could look into this it would be greatly appreciated by everyone who plays basketball at the ARC.
Thank you for the feedback, Ted. You are exactly right in the difficulties you listed with keeping the courts clean this time of year. That being said, I am still passing this information along to the staff member that supervises our Building Service Workers to ensure we’re doing all we can to keep the courts as clean as possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any more concerns.
Sincerely,
Jessica Gentry
