Background and Analysis:

Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport and both staff and PRAC have been approached by the Pickleball players requesting more outdoor places to play.  Currently several tennis courts in Olympia parks are lined for both Pickleball and tennis.  There are currently no dedicated Pickleball courts in Olympia’s park system. 

Staff will present a report on the current state of Pickleball courts in Olympia’s parks and discuss proposed plans for future courts.

 

Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):

Several months ago, several Pickleball players attended a PRAC meeting to provide comments about the need for courts.
