I agree the size of Jackie Cooper could be larger to accommodate walking, basketball and pickleball activities. The center has dedicated times for each activity, which pickleball has time slot from 9am till noon Monday thru Thursday with a robust club of around 50 players ages range from 40 to mid 80’s. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, Seniors are able to participate and interact with each other enjoying sport, exercise and community! Many in the friendly community of pickleball players suffer from the same ailments as mentioned in the commentary; but they refuse to let age and creep up on them and stay as active as possible, walking to us is boring activity so we choose vigorous exercise. The community of pickleball graciously thanks staff at Cooper and continues to support the City of Yukon for the allotted time slots for Pickleball.
