New fields, prefab restrooms and 10 pickleball courts: Garden City touts summer facility upgrades
Summary
Garden City Public Schools upgraded its middle‑school athletic field with bleachers for about 800, installed 10 pickleball courts alongside three tennis courts, and expects a prefab restroom/concession building by early–mid September.
Derek Fisher described multiple summer projects designed to serve both students and the broader community. The middle‑school athletic field received new fencing, bleachers that accommodate roughly 800 spectators and a prefab restroom/concession building expected early to mid‑September; Fisher said the field is already used by PE classes and community groups.
The district added 10 pickleball courts and kept three tennis courts at the middle school, and officials installed a turnstile to manage access while allowing community use during off‑hours. Fisher said feedback has been "exclusively positive," noting users range from grade‑school children to seniors. He also said the district is considering future shade structures for bleachers to improve comfort during hot weather.
