Boulder Parks and Recreation (BPR) completed Tennis and Pickleball Court System Plan PDF that analyzes and evaluates the city’s tennis and pickleball courts. This includes the number of courts, use type for each court (shared or dedicated), capital investment, management, and programming. Key recommendations of the Plan include:

• BPR should continue to invest $400K per year over the next six years to improve playability of existing courts and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
• BPR should develop additional outdoor courts as funding and capacity allow. The recommended additions are: 22 dedicated tennis courts and 22 dedicated pickleball courts. Stay tuned for more information at upcoming design and construction at East Boulder Community Park.
• BPR should explore potential partnerships to better understand indoor facility opportunities in the short-term and as part of the Future of Recreation Centers project (see information below).

Thanks to Boulder Tennis Association, BOCO Pickleball, and all who engaged in this planning process during 2023 and 2024.

We hear your interest in indoor racquet sports facilities. As part of the Future of Recreation Centers project, we will engage our community broadly to explore how these interests relate to other community priorities for indoor recreation activities. Stay engaged by signing up for the email list for the Future of Recreation Centers project.

Building off the City of Boulder’s values and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, this project integrates the citywide vision, values, and goals to set the bar high for design excellence, climate consciousness, resilience, and diversity inclusion. Below are links to the BPR and citywide goals that guide this project and all city development.
