Project Overview
Boulder Parks and Recreation's (BPR) Racket Sport Court System Plan revealed a need for dedicated pickleball courts throughout BPR's system. 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.
Other planned improvements, to be finalized as funding is confirmed, include new restrooms, a shade shelter, a food court, play area, updated walkways for improved circulation and accessibility, and a resurfacing of the parking lot.
Parks and Recreation will share project progress as the team moves through the phases outlined above.
