Pickleball players offer to fund fence move; committee asks staff for cost, entrance alternatives
Summary
Parks staff described a court reconfiguration for tennis and pickleball; local pickleball players asked to move an interior fence so four courts can be placed on one side and offered to fundraise for the extra cost. The committee discussed adding an entrance versus moving the fence and asked staff to compare costs and dimensions before proceeding.
Jillian presented the resurfacing project that will reconfigure tennis and pickleball courts and said the contractor’s current scope leaves an interior fence in place. Members of the pickleball community have asked that the interior fence be moved so the four new pickleball courts could be placed together on the east side of the enclosure; they offered to fundraise for the added cost. “So they have told me they're willing to fundraise to have this fence moved and it wouldn't add any cost to Parib for the project,” Jillian said, noting the change could cause a short delay.
Committee members discussed alternatives including adding a second entrance to improve flow and requested precise court dimensions to evaluate whether moving the fence would meaningfully increase space between side‑by‑side courts. Colin asked whether moving the fence would increase distance between courts to reduce collisions; staff said she would provide dimensional comparisons and cost options for the committee to review.
