The Park & Recreation Commission will provide a recommendation to staff regarding locations to expand pickleball court installations in the City. The Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Activities (RPCA) requested additional funding in FY2022 to provide infrastructure and court markings to provide more pickleball courts and improve the level of play for pickleball users. In response to the Department’s request, RPCA received $20,000 to expand pickleball facilities in FY2022. For additional information, view the Park & Recreation January 20, 2022 Staff Report.
