Children, neighbors press council for basketball court at Blackies Pasture
Summary
During the public‑comment period several children and parents urged the council to support adding a basketball court at Blackies Pasture; speakers described local fundraising and neighborhood support but no formal action was taken at the June 18 meeting.
Several young residents and parents used the Tiburon Town Council public‑comment period on June 18 to urge the council to support a basketball court at Blackies Pasture.
A child identified as Harrison said, "I am supporting the basketball court at Blackies Pasture," and described worn existing courts in the area and the sport’s local popularity. Another speaker, Hannah, reported a small neighborhood fundraiser: "in only 3 hours and 30 minutes, we got $172," and described community enthusiasm collected at a lemonade stand.
Speakers said they hoped grassroots fundraising and evident local demand would accelerate planning for a court at the park. The council did not take action on the request during the meeting; park planning staff and the Parks & Open Space Commission had discussed Blackies Pasture in the broader parks master plan and in the parks‑design conversation later in the agenda.
Ending: The request was recorded during public comment and will be considered as staff and the Parks & Open Space Commission continue design and capital‑planning work for neighborhood parks.
