Corte Madera begins community outreach for Menke Park renovation accessibility project

The Corte Madera Parks and Recreation Commission meeting held on March 24, 2025, focused on several key initiatives aimed at enhancing community engagement and park accessibility. One of the most significant discussions centered around the upcoming community outreach event for the Menke Park renovation accessibility project, scheduled for March 29, 2025. This event will gather input from residents on improving pathways and overall accessibility within the park. The commission anticipates returning to discuss the collected feedback in April or May.

Another topic of interest was the scheduling for pickleball courts. A commissioner inquired whether there is a preference for Corte Madera residents over non-residents. Currently, there is no established preference, and the scheduling appears to be accommodating for all players. The commission noted that they are monitoring participation and may consider adjustments based on feedback and usage patterns.

The meeting also highlighted the upcoming volunteer fair, which aims to recruit participants for various advisory bodies within the town. The fair will be publicized through social media, newsletters, and word-of-mouth to maximize community involvement. The commission emphasized the importance of this event in connecting residents with opportunities to contribute to local governance and community projects.

In addition to these discussions, the meeting acknowledged Tim's recent election as president of the Parks and Recreation Society of Northern California, marking a significant achievement for the commission and the town.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to fostering community participation and improving park facilities, setting the stage for future developments in Corte Madera's recreational offerings.
