Dear County Executive,

This petition is regarding the status of the tennis courts at Pascack Brook County Park.

There are 3 tennis courts, but they are in such a state of disrepair that they are currently not usable. In fact, since the start of the pandemic, these courts have been locked down.

We, county residents appreciate all the good work that has been done at the Woodale County Park and the renovation of those courts is really appreciated. This can be judged by the high demand that those tennis courts have! 

We, a large contingent of tennis lovers in Bergen County, are submitting this petition such that you will consider the repair of the Pascack Brook Park tennis courts also, this way residents having more options available. We are asking that the county initiate the necessary repairs to revert these tennis courts back to their original state, respectively tennis courts.

When these courts were usable, there were many families, including parents with kids, and other local players, that were able to play tennis and enjoy being outside. This is a great and important benefit to being residents of Bergen County. And, as some nearby towns have begun to limit access to their town tennis courts for just the local residents, it is becoming even more important to have more public tennis courts that are available for everybody's use.

We, the residents of Bergen County who love playing tennis, would like to ask you to consider the renovation and resurfacing of the aforementioned tennis courts – and in particular, that you resurface them with the same kind of hard court surface that was initially used, as that is the only surface that is appropriate for tennis.

In support of this petition, we have attached one picture (more available) showing the current state of the courts.

Thank you for your help and support for this initiative!

For any other additional information, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,  

George Mainescu
