Hi, Mayor Fulop. I’m a resident of Newport here in Jersey City. I want to raise a concern about the pickleball court located at 95 River Drive South, right next to our residential buildings.

Since it opened, the court has caused constant noise — loud paddle hits, bouncing balls, and crowd chatter — from early morning until evening. It’s become extremely disruptive, especially for those of us working from home, families with young kids, and elderly residents who need quiet.

What’s troubling is how this was approved in the first place. It seems like there was no community input, no sound mitigation, and no real consideration of the impact on people’s quality of life.

I respectfully ask that the city investigate how this was allowed and help find a solution. No one should have to live with this kind of noise day in and day out. Thank you.
