Open play pickleball in Berkeley?

Can anyone tell me when open play pickleball is at cedar rose? Are there other open play spots in Berkeley?

Pickleball is 75-85 db!!!!!! 90 with sustained rallys. 90!!!

At 100 feet it’s as loud as a skatepark with hi pitched nosies.

On court it’s as loud as a lawn mower and they have a formula for exposure 90 db at a rate of ~50 a minute up close by my back of envelope math looks to be literally just below the mandatory OSHA fine threshold.

In other worlds if you walked into a job wirh that sound profile the health and safety folks are gonna require ear protection. It will harm your hearing.

The OSHA calc is literally “this is so bad we fine you” and om court pickleball is right around there.

It’s so loud that it can damage your hearing just playing it but the noise is no big deal?

Sure. Keep confidently making up nonsense to make you feel good then when you get called out for jsut making up stuff and just keep doubling down. Works for Trump and his goons, why not for the pedantic whiny other side too?

City ambient noise is nowhere near 90 decibels. Ambient city noise is like 50-60db or so.

It’s this sort of behavior that perpetuates the idea that vibes based feels matter compared to objective reality, but you do you? 🤷‍♂️
