Tennis + Pickleball Court Improvements

Last updated on Aug. 3, 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 a number of tennis and pickleball courts available for play for the remainder of the 2026 season:
    • Pickleball courts 9-10 and Tennis courts 7-9 will be closed for the duration of the project
    • Additional closures will be noticed as needed based on construction activities
  • Temporary court closures may impact lessons, programs and court reservations due to reduced court capacity:
    • 90-minute reservation limits; 30-minute extensions possible if availability allows
    • Early registration recommended for lessons and programs
  • Reconfiguration of courts resulting in 12 dedicated pickleball courts and 8 dedicated tennis courts.

WHAT IS THE PROJECT STATUS?

  • Phase I design plans and permitting are complete.
  • The board approved Phase I construction at the May 11, 2026, board meeting.
  • Construction has commenced and is anticipated to continue into December 2026.

WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OR BUDGET?

  • The Board of Directors has approved $1,835,872 for Phase I, utilizing 2026 New Capital Projects Funds and Repair and Replacement Fund. See the May 11, 2026, board meeting staff report for additional details.
