Resident Amir Prashani urges limits on late‑night pickleball near neighborhood court
Summary
At the July 22 Menlo Park Parks & Recreation Commission meeting, resident Amir Prashani told commissioners that lighted pickleball courts near his home run late into the night and asked the city to find an alternative location or tighten hours. Commissioners acknowledged the complaint and said they would add follow-up to future agendas; no formal policy change was made.
Amir Prashani, a nearby resident, told the commission the courts near his home are scheduled for play roughly 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., but said lights and play have sometimes continued until about 11:30 p.m., disrupting sleep and quality of life. “I think it’s excessive to go till 10PM with lighted courts in a residential neighborhood,” he said, adding that the court configuration allows up to 12 players simultaneously and can be very loud.
Commissioners thanked Prashani for raising the issue and discussed next steps to address neighborhood impacts, including exploring relocation options for heavy-use play and placing the scheduling/lighting topic on a future agenda so staff can develop options for hours, enforcement or alternative sites. The commission did not vote or adopt any new rules at the meeting; staff and commissioners described the item as one for follow-up and possible future action.
