“Oh, the memories. Love this place. If only there were more tennis courts, because this is like the 3rd-largest neighborhood in Carmel and it seems like half of everyone who lives in Saddle Creek plays tennis or pickleball. Another basketball court would be nice too!”

“The kids that play basketball here play dirty and very unfair. They agreed that we would face off again “next weekend”, except this time they brought in a bunch of other people to intentionally sabotage the game. It was supposed to be 5v5 but it ended up being 5v20 because of all their random friends giving them an advantage. Would not recommend bringing your talents to this UNFAIR basketball court!”
