Poinsettia Park Pickleball Courts

Pickleball’s popularity is skyrocketing among people of all ages. As a result, Poinsettia Community Park added six lighted pickleball courts to their neighborhood recreational park in Carlsbad, California. This excited local pickleball players, but the addition of the new courts came with an unexpected problem; noise.

Pickleball is a very noisy game. The ball makes a percussive noise when it hits the racket. When that piercing sound is multiplied by 4 players, on 6 courts, the noise is considerable. The City of Carlsbad, in an effort to be proactive, contacted Acoustiblok to find a solution to the noise problem. Acoustiblok is a leader in the pickleball industry and has extensive experience resolving challenging noise issues on the court.

An Acoustiblok pickleball specialist consulted with the city. They decided to use Acoustifence, one of the company’s leading noise mitigation products, and selected the green shade Acoustifence.  This shade blended nicely into their park setting. The installation went up quickly and easily on the chain-link fencing. The fence heights varied in different locations, which required some custom cut sizes.  Acoustiblok was happy to accommodate the customer with custom sized fencing segments.

The Acoustifence installation yielded impressive results. The city was delighted with the noise level reduction for the park goers.
