Council debates pickleball court amid questions about site and shared basketball use
Summary
Council discussed two citizen requests for a pickleball court at a former volleyball court site with construction estimates of $15,000–$20,000, and explored whether a configuration could also accommodate basketball and use ARPA funds.
Council considered a community request to convert an out-of-use volleyball court near the baseball fields into a pickleball court. Staff provided a rough cost estimate: "rough estimates for construction are around 15 to 20,000 for everything that includes the concrete pad, painting and fencing," and noted the former court’s level surface would lower costs.
Members raised equity and longevity questions — several said basketball requests had been made in the past and asked whether a combined layout could serve both uses. Council asked staff to explore siting and design that could allow both basketball and pickleball within the same footprint and to confirm cost estimates so the Council can consider using ARPA or other funds.
