Discussion Relative to the Pickleball Courts: Earnest Barrows: The Board of Selectmen received a request from Earnest Barrows dated June 23, 2020 requesting to be placed on the Selectmen's agenda to review the matter of the Pickleball Court located on Ashumet Road, Mashpee. There has been an ongoing concern regarding the noise emanating from the court. After hearing concerns from Mr. Barrows last March, the Town of Mashpee attempted to mitigate the concerns, and installed a canvas sheeting over the fenced areas in an effort to lessen the noise. Mr. Barrows an abutter to the park stated the noise has not ceased and it is considered a nuisance. It should be noted that previously Mr. Barrows acknowledged he was favorable with the good faith effort of the Town of Mashpee in attempting to mitigate the noise, including modifying the hours of play last March.
