On behalf of the Board of Directors and all of the members of the Pagosa Pickleball Club, I want to thank Ed Baxter for organizing this project, for enlisting a team of volunteers to help and his donation of the materials necessary to raise the bleachers at the South Yamaguchi Park pickleball courts. Job well done!! This will benefit our members as well as the community and visitors by providing a safe seating area. Please take a moment to thank Ed when you see him at the courts. We are also grateful to John Costa for all of his efforts and Darren Lewis of the Pagosa Springs Park and Rec Department. Darren continues to support improvements and he has worked tirelessly to complete parking, landscaping, restroom facilities, sitting areas and so much more. |
