Mobility Survey (open to December 9)
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SLMobility2020

Your participation in this survey is wanted and needed because the Mobility Master Plan will affect you. The information gathered from this survey will help shape the Plan so let your voice be heard. This survey could take about 25 minutes because it is designed to capture a lot of information and everybody involved wants to get this right. Please give it the attention it deserves, and if it begins to feel long, it’s OK to take a break, you can come back to it later, just make sure to do so on the same device.

After you’ve taken the survey, please share it with others so their voices can also be heard. If you think the survey missed a critical element that should be considered, please let me know […]

Have you ever heard of pickleball but wondered what it is and how to play? FCCSA would like to introduce a sport growing in popularity nationwide, pickleball. Pickleball is a mix between ping-pong, badminton and tennis. The game is easy to play and can be played by players with little to no experience.

Pickleball courts are smaller than standard tennis courts which allows younger players and players with limited mobility the opportunity to participate. The sport has become very popular with senior adults and is growing on high school and college campuses as well.

FCCSA has built two new courts located at the Lexington Colony facility at 1314 Sheffield Dr. If you have a tennis key already, that key will work on the pickleball courts also. If you do not have a key, you can pick it up at the FCCSA main office at 4350 Austin Parkway. The cost is a $20 […]
