What We are Working On

IS THE PICKLEBALL CONVERSATION OVER?

Probably not as the sport is in high demand, not only in Tucker but also in surrounding communities and across the nation.

Currently, pickleball is played outside at two parks, Rosenfeld and Henderson. Indoor play is offered at Tucker Recreation Center. The courts at Rosenfeld Park are in desperate need of repair and the project is about to go out to bid for construction. The design is for three tennis courts and additional parking. Construction was anticipated to start this fall during fall pickleball league play so two of the four tennis courts at Henderson have been temporarily painted for dual use, creating six outdoor pickleball courts.

The City of Tucker is seeking resident’s input and feedback on development at the Tucker Recreation Center.

Tucker is mostly built out, and opportunities are not readily available for the City to expand existing programming nor add to the current offerings. To that end, the City will continue to use land that is public to the highest and best use.

Program expansion at the Tucker Recreation Center will require a substantial investment to mitigate stormwater issues and add parking. This survey is not a referendum and the final decision for development will be made by the Tucker City Council with recommendations from City Staff.

With that knowledge and the reality of funding, please take our survey found here surveymonkey.com/r/PGB9B68.
