Blackburn playground surface repaired; tennis courts resurfaced and four pickleball courts added
Summary
Staff reported repair work completed at Blackburn Park after installation issues with a poured playground surface; the city also resurfaced tennis courts and added four pickleball courts as part of facility upgrades.
The Parks and Recreation director told commissioners that Blackburn Park’s new playground flooring had developed bubbles after installation because the surface did not cure properly at the required temperature. The company that installed the surface (referred to in discussion as Allfix) removed the top layers, refilled affected areas and reapplied the surface; the playground was closed for several days and has reopened after the repair.
The director also reported that the tennis courts at Blackburn Park were resurfaced and restriped to create four new pickleball courts. Staff said the courts will be first‑come, first‑served and that the city plans to offer clinics and small tournaments to promote use.
Commissioners were told the playground repairs involved multiple surface layers with shock‑absorbing properties and that the contractor performed corrective work under warranty. No legal claims, budget increases or litigation were reported during the meeting.
