Tennis + Pickleball Court Improvements

Last updated on May 8, 2026

WHAT IS THE PROJECT?

The project goal is to improve the experience for all users of the Tennis + Pickleball Center by providing dedicated regulation courts for both activities that address changing uses and safety concerns. The project also considers future impacts to the facility as the greater Tennis + Pickleball Center redevelopment project scope is created over the next few years.

The project will be phased over several years:

  • Phase I:
    • Reconstruct courts 7-9 with post-tension slab and convert to ten dedicated pickleball courts
    • Reconstruct pickleball courts 9-10 with post-tension slab
    • New 10′ sound attenuating PickleGlass wall, nets, and court separation fencing for the new pickleball area
    • New permanent shade structures
    • Resurface and restripe hybrid courts 10-11 to return to dedicated tennis courts
  • Phase II – Reconstruct tennis courts 4-6 with post-tension slab, resurface and restripe
  • Phase III – Reconstruct tennis courts 1-3 with post-tension slab, resurface and restripe

WHY THIS PROJECT?

Based on member feedback from multiple outlets over the last couple of years, staff has recognized a need to:

  • Provide an improved pickleball experience and increase the number of dedicated courts;
  • Make all tennis and pickleball courts regulation size (safety) and dedicated play without any hybrid striping; and,
  • Separate disciplines for a more enjoyable playing experience for all.

WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS?

  • Construction will impact the number of tennis and pickleball courts available for play during portions of the 2026 season (see May 11, 2026 Special Board Meeting Presentation).
  • Reconfiguration of courts resulting in 12 dedicated pickleball courts and 8 dedicated tennis courts.

WHAT IS THE PROJECT STATUS?

  • Phase I design plans are complete.
  • Tahoe Donner staff are actively working with the Town of Truckee on the permitting process.
  • The board approved Phase I construction at the May 11, 2026, board meeting.
  • Anticipated construction period on or around June 1 – October 28, 2026.

WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OR BUDGET?

  • The proposed cost of Phase I is $1,835,872, subject to Board approval on May 11, 2026. For more details refer to the May 6,2026  Staff Report.
