The Town of Carbondale and Roaring Fork Pickleball Association (RFPA) have both received a guilty verdict! They’re guilty of not giving pickleball and tennis players access to the Darien courts for approximately 10 days. What makes this even worse is it could be several more days before players are allowed access.
However… a guilty plea in this case gets a thumbs-up because when they do reopen, they will be playing on newly resurfaced courts!
A few of the courts might even be playable this weekend for the Great Sopris Showdown pickleball tournament hosted by RFPA. The annual event will take place Friday through Sunday, Sept. 20-22, if the weather cooperates.
