A vandal is terrorizing pickleball courts in New York City 🏙️. Players in Manhattan have shown up to Riverside Park to find nets cut, poles thrown in the trash 🗑️, and pickleball equipment sitting in trash bags 🚮. According to the story from Men's Journal, it's happened on at least three occasions recently.
No one knows who the vandal is 🤔, but a criminal report was filed 🚔. Perhaps the biggest crime of all is now these dedicated pickleballers are having to use portable nets to play each day 😔.
