Commission reviews Pints Park site-plan modifications including court conversion and roadway abandonment
Summary
Staff presented a major site-plan modification for Pints Park, including abandonment of Southeast 3rd Street, playground misters and conversion of a second pickleball court into a multi-use half basketball court; commissioners said the long-planned improvements are needed.
City staff showed commissioners a revised plan for Pints Park that highlights several long-planned improvements, including abandonment of Southeast 3rd Street adjacent to railroad tracks, installation of misters near the playground and converting one pickleball court into a multi-use half basketball court.
Staff walked commissioners through the map, pointing out the location of the roadway abandonment near the FEC tracks and the fenced area around the converted court and playground. Commissioners asked whether the new half-court could be used for pickleball with temporary nets and were told that option remains available, enabling flexible daytime use for different user groups.
Multiple commissioners expressed enthusiasm for renovating the city’s oldest park, noting the project has been discussed and planned for several years. No formal vote on the site plan modification was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
