Plan and develop Northeast Regional Park BACKGROUND Our Department and the Lake Country Pickleball Club (LCPC) have worked cooperatively over the years to install Pickleball court lines at Westover Park. Due to an increase in demand, the number of courts was expanded from 4 to 6 courts this year. This has helped ease wait times for players, but the LCPC continues to grow at a rapid pace and is looking for additional courts. The LCPC brought forward a proposal to the Parks & Recreation Board to install a 10-court State-of-the-Art Pickleball Complex at Northeast Regional Park, with potential for future expansion. The LCPC plans to privately fundraise the approximate $400,000 needed for construction. They also plan to provide funding each year toward future maintenance needs. The LCPC would like the courts constructed in 2022. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS The timing is possible, if the LCPC is able to obtain financial commitments in early 2022. MSI General is working with them on site layout, design and construction specs. Separately, but in parallel timing, our Department is partnering with the Wastewater Department to construct restrooms in conjunction with a lift station in the park in 2022. On December 13, 2021, the Parks & Recreation Board unanimously approved the concept and location of the Pickleball Complex at Northeast Regional Park. Members of the LCPC Board will be in attendance to provide more information and conceptual site layouts. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Lake Country Pickleball Club states that they will privately fundraise the $400,000 needed for construction of the 10-court Pickleball Complex and provide funds for future maintenance needs. RECOMMENDATION Approve Concept Plan of Pickleball Complex at Northeast Regional Park. 1 2 3
