Members ask RCSC to reopen Mountain View pickleball courts on holidays; staff to consider limited hours
Summary
Park users asked RCSC to reverse a notice barring pickleball access on holidays at Mountain View; staff said they would consider limited holiday hours if staffing allows and will evaluate resurfacing timing ahead of planned Mountain View renovation.
Players and club leaders asked RCSC to restore limited holiday access for Mountain View pickleball courts after a notice said courts would be closed on holidays starting Thanksgiving 2024.
Resident Kathy Jones asked the board to allow Mountain View courts to be open for a short holiday window (for example, 8 a.m. to noon) to serve snowbirds and members without family nearby on holidays. Jones said she had spoken with past and current pickleball leadership and that the community would welcome a modest holiday schedule if staff were available to open the facility.
Non‑golf Senior Leader Mike Dirmeier acknowledged the concern and said staff would consider the request; he indicated staffing and operational costs would be factors in any decision. Later in the meeting, Director Collins said planned pickleball resurfacing at Mountain View — a roughly $22,000 project discussed by staff — is scheduled for spring and would keep courts playable until a later construction phase of the Mountain View master plan.
Board members asked players to share preferences with staff so RCSC could evaluate staffing and cost tradeoffs before a final determination.
