Neighbor requests signage at Rose Hill Middle School courts to prevent pickleball noise and conflicts
Summary
A Redmond resident asked Lake Washington School District to post signage clarifying the tennis courts adjacent to Rose Hill Middle School are not for pickleball and asked to coordinate with district staff for a follow‑up.
At the Jan. 13 meeting a Redmond resident, Randall Wrishmand, told the Lake Washington School District board that pickleball players regularly use the tennis courts adjacent to Rose Hill Middle School in summer and create persistent noise during daytime hours.
Wrishmand said he had checked with the City of Redmond and was told the district owns jurisdiction of the courts after school hours. He asked the district to install signage stating the surface is a tennis court and to clarify use policies so neighborhood residents can expect quieter outdoor spaces during summer. He noted a dedicated pickleball facility exists at Houghton Park and Play about two miles away.
Nut graf: The resident requested a simple signage change and better coordination to reduce noise and court‑use conflicts; board staff agreed to follow up with the resident.
District staff told the meeting clerks someone from the district would follow up with Wrishmand; no formal motion or vote followed public comment.
Ending: Board staff indicated a district representative would contact the resident to explore signage and jurisdictional options.
