Bear Creek Park -Keller •The City of Keller built 4 dedicated pickleball courts with lights in 2016. •Weather permitting, all 4 courts are in use simultaneously for roughly 6 - 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, and for most of that time, there are people waiting to play. •After 4 years, the city is working to build another 4 courts on the same site. Dove Park,Grapevine •Southlake built four dedicated pickleball courts with lights in 2019 at Dove Park. •The park also has two tennis courts with permanent pickleball lines. •All six of these courts are routinely being used simultaneously during both mornings and evenings. Trophy Club •The city of Trophy Club currently has 4 pickleball courts painted on tennis courts. •The city is expected to vote on a proposal during the first week of July to build 8 dedicated pickleball courts at one of the city parks. Arlington Tennis Center •26 outdoor, lighted tennis courts. •Currently have 18 pickleball courts painted onto tennis courts. •Began offering pickleball on May 1st of this year. According to the director, they are “all in” on pickleball. •After fewer than 2 months, they now have roughly 80 pickleball players playing at their facility each day. •Working on a plan to convert a portion of their tennis courts into at least 12 permanent dedicated pickleball courts. Arlington Tennis Center Arlington Tennis Center Vaquero Country Club -Westlake Timarron (Southlake) –Weekday morning Conclusion •As the active baby boomer population continues to age and experience injuries, they will increasingly look for more “body friendly” activities, and pickleball fits this need perfectly. •In the last year, pickleball has begun being introduced in local school districts, which will help to continue the trend toward younger participants. •I urge the board to strongly consider building at least 4 dedicated pickleball courts. I have seen firsthand the growth of pickleball in all the communities in our immediate area, and in every case, the demand for courts has outweighed the courts available.
