Residents raise drainage concerns at local basketball court; parks staff to get quotes
Summary
Colin reported standing water under baskets at a neighborhood court after recent rains; parks staff said resurfacing is likely needed to correct grading and offered to get quotes and explore temporary measures to improve drainage.
Colin told the committee his son and others have been unable to use the basketball court because water pools at both ends under the baskets after rain. “The surface is not stellar, but it's probably okay for now. But the problem is that drainage,” he said, asking whether resurfacing or other measures could help.
Jillian said resurfacing and leveling the court could address water pooling and that she would consult maintenance and bring cost estimates back to the committee. She said resurfacing would likely involve grinding the existing surface and applying a new top layer with sealing and repainted lines; staff will also explore temporary options to improve drainage before a full resurfacing.
