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.
Support the projects
The PLAY Boulder Foundation is proud to support the development of cutting-edge tennis and pickleball courts at East Boulder Community Park and a state-of-the-art public pickleball facility at Tom Watson Park.
Through your financial support these community courts will become vibrant, accessible gathering spaces where families, friends, and neighbors come together to play, connect, and grow. Contributions can enhance these projects with amenities like a shade structure, benches, picnic tables, or drinking fountains to support comfort and usability.
