Project Overview
The City of Tucker has recognized the popularity and community demand of pickleball over the last several years. Our Parks & Recreation Department strives to provide opportunities for people to participate in many activities and particularly this multi-generational sport. While pickleball is currently played on existing dual-use outdoor tennis courts and indoor basketball courts, there are currently no facilities dedicated exclusively for pickleball play. The Parks & Recreation Department has been seeking a suitable location to build dedicated pickleball courts.
DESCRIPTION:
Construct 12 pickleball courts and add approximately 40 – 50 parking spaces for both the courts and TRC. This will provide adequate space for growth of pickleball events/activities and parking for both these activities and the growing programs at TRC.
OBJECTIVES:
- Create a 12 court pickleball facility for open and scheduled play
- Expand parking for the additional courts and TRC programming
- Improve access to the east side of TRC for proper access to courts and parking
- Improve sanitation disposal area/access
- Create access to the TRC gymnasium entrance from the new facility
- Plan for restrooms and pavilion on site (possible future addition)
- Improve stormwater controls and runoff
