Pickleball participation surges; senior day trips cut from FY26 budget
Summary
Staff reported 348 participants in the spring pickleball league, up from 276 last year, and said long-running senior day-trip programming was cut from the FY26 budget due to financial constraints.
Parks staff reported a substantial rise in spring pickleball participation — 348 registrants this season compared with 276 last spring — and said the department is trying new scheduling formats, including morning leagues. Staff said registration is expected to fill by the end of the month and that late registration remains an option at a higher fee.
The board was also told that longstanding senior day-trip programming will be cut from the FY26 budget: staff said the program could not be made financially viable without raising ticket prices above $100 per person, so it will not continue in the coming fiscal year. Board members suggested outreach and alternate sponsorships may be explored.
