The Parks Planning team is working with consultants on a design for 12 dedicated pickleball courts at Tom Watson Park.
This underutilized site with no nearby neighbors provides the city the opportunity to quickly build dedicated pickleball courts, addressing the need for pickleball courts and relieving pressure on current multi-sport (tennis and pickleball) courts.
These courts will be in addition to the existing four tennis courts at the site.
The climbing structures and sandbox in Tom Watson Park’s playground provide opportunities for free play in a park targeted toward structured and programmed recreation.
