Hey folks,
Sorry for the late notice about this.
I'm working with Val to update the agenda and send out a note for
pickleball.
I found 3 indoor locations:
1. Atlanta Pickleball Center <https://www.atlanta-pickleball.com/>
2. Painted Pickle <https://paintedpickle.com/>
3. Ace Pickleball Club <https://www.acepickleballclub.com/>
I recommend that we go with option 1: Atlanta Pickleball Center
<https://www.atlanta-pickleball.com/> There are no court fees for the
reservation, but they charge by the hour for each person. Prices start at
$12 per person per hour, and there is a sliding scale for discounts
depending on the size of the group.
For Sunday, I booked 2 courts for 3 PM. I can cancel up until 9 AM that
day, so I hope to see enough interest to justify the booking.
They open at 8 am during the weekdays, and they don't expect that I will
need to book the courts ahead of time. However, there is a corporate event
on Monday, so only Tue & Wed are available.
This club is 3.9 miles away from the conference hotel, and takes about 14
min to drive there.
I recommend signing up in the Court Reserve app
<https://courtreserve.com/mobile-app/>, and then sign up as a guest member
for the Atlanta Pickleball Center (club link for app
<https://app.courtreserve.com/Online/Portal/Index/8777>). You'll need to
enter your contact info and sign a waiver online.
Painted Pickle <https://paintedpickle.com/> (option 2) is also about 15
minutes away. But they don't open until 9 am on weekdays. (NANOG sessions
start at 10 am, but there are breakfast events that start at 9 am)
Ace Pickleball Club <https://www.acepickleballclub.com/> (option 3) opens
at 6 am! But it is far away (30 min drive) and expensive ($45/person/day).
No court bookings available unless you're a member, but 6-7 am should not
be a problem.

Hello!
Will there be pickleball this NANOG?
I didn't see it on the agenda, but I'd be down to play some pick-up
games if others want to!
I've even looked into some nearby courts:
* Grant Park <https://maps.app.goo.gl/kqK29nztA8bY95V28> (~10mins
drive from the Marriott)
o 3 tennis courts with permanent pickleball lines
o courts open at 6am
o first-come, first-served
o can reserve courts ahead of time
<https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/atlantadprca/reservation/landing/sear…>
for small fee
* Hilton Atlanta <https://maps.app.goo.gl/SojCP2TGzrgkhSd88> (across
the street from venue)
o 2 rooftop courts
o courts opens at 8am
o not sure if they grant non-guests access... :/
Looking forward to seeing everyone again, on and off the court!
