Summary

A town-hall speaker suggested the city expand sports tournament facilities and consider paid parking and rentals to boost local revenue and draw visitors to Leon Valley parks.

At the Jan. 25 town hall, a resident described frequent high turnout at weekend volleyball and basketball tournaments held in Leon Valley parks and suggested the city consider investing in facilities and paid parking to generate revenue.

The speaker said tournaments draw out-of-town teams and spectators to Leon Valley and that the city could charge for parking or rent practice space to increase revenue. They cited examples of other municipalities that attract tournament traffic and recommended exploring investment and parking-management options.

City staff did not commit to specific projects at the town hall; the idea was presented as an example of potential revenue diversification amid broader budget discussions.
