Agenda Item 9. E.

Parks, Recreation & Human Services Commission

Meeting Date:

05/24/2023

Subject:

Pickleball/Conversion Data

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

Public Works staff have gathered data over several weeks specifically looking at the tennis courts at Country Hills Park and Founder’s Park. Based on the data, there is still a lot of tennis players utilizing these only open courts in Brea. Previously, staff included basketball courts around town to see if it might be feasible to convert any of those courts. It was determined at that time that due to the high volume of use, staff did not recommend any conversion of basketball courts. Based on the recent data of the tennis courts, staff is also recommending no conversion due to the demand from tennis players and current City contract class use.

Staff and Commissioner Realon met with two avid pickle ball enthusiasts in Downtown Brea on top of the west parking structure to evaluate the possibility of conversion of part of this site for pickle ball use. The Commission will receive an update at the May meeting.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
