Manteno adopts athletic facility tournament policy ahead of pickleball demand
Summary
The village adopted Resolution 2502, an athletic facility tournament policy to set rules for tournaments at Lucille Athes Park, including pickleball court use; trustees said the resolution aims to manage requests and avoid court monopolization.
The Manteno Village Board adopted Resolution 2502, establishing an athletic facility tournament policy intended to manage requests to use village recreational facilities for organized tournaments.
The parks and recreation committee considered the policy specifically in response to increased interest in use of the new pickleball courts at Lucille Athes Park. Trustee Geske said the committee hoped the policy would prevent court monopolization and provide clear rules for scheduling and nonprofit qualifications.
Trustees adopted the policy on the consent agenda; the board did not remove the resolution for separate discussion. The village will invite representatives of local groups, including a Kankakee County organization called Paddle Together, to discuss ideas at upcoming Parks & Rec meetings.
Ending: The policy is in place to guide tournament requests; Parks & Rec will hear groups with interest and apply the rules when scheduling tournaments at village athletic facilities.
