Resident asks city to repair tennis and basketball courts in Northampton neighborhood
Summary
Whitley Richards asked the council to repair local courts in Northampton—install tennis nets, fix basketball rims and backboards—and offered to help lead community efforts to improve the neighborhood recreation space.
Whitley Richards told the council she has been trying for two to three years to secure repairs for tennis and basketball courts in Northampton and asked the city to help install tennis nets and fix missing rims and backboards. Richards said families and children in her neighborhood use the courts, noted interest in pickleball play, and offered to partner with the city to maintain the space.
"Please help," Richards said as she described the need for basic repairs and community access. The mayor acknowledged the comment and said deputy city staff would share Richards's concerns with the parks and recreation director.
