CITY COUNCIL GOAL
Coordinate and deliver responsive, effective community services.
BACKGROUND
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in America, attributed to its short learning curve, appeal to various ages and fitness levels, and low startup costs. Residents of Murrieta have been calling for access to dedicated pickleball courts throughout the City. As of May 2024, four pickleball courts are in the City's inventory. Two (2) courts are located at B Street Station Park next to the Library and Senior Center, and two (2) courts are located at Alderwood Park on Baxter Road just east of Whitewood Road. Tonight’s presentation will discuss locations for the funds recently allocated for additional pickleball courts.
FISCAL IMPACT
The new Capital Improvement Plan project (CIP 22042) for pickleball court construction was funded with $400,000 in interest funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The funding requires that all funds be spent or construction contracts approved by the end of December 2024. Staff will present a strategy to design and build pickleball courts quickly and efficiently and ensure that all funds are expended on time.
