MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />OCTOBER 5, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br />Commissioner DeLong Miller asked if an additional court could be added in phase II of Pioneer <br />Park. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director confirmed that could be a part of the discussion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schletty noted that perhaps the additional courts could be multi-use courts. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director stated that if new courts were added, the multi-use courts could be <br />better sized to support both activities. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mui recognized that tennis players may have to go a bit further, but there are <br />currently no dedicated pickleball courts in Little Canada so this would provide some equity. <br /> <br />Chair Horwath commented that he did not imagine that elementary school is offering tennis, but <br />perhaps they would be interested in pickleball. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director commented on the different programming opportunities that would be <br />available if there were dedicated pickleball courts. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mui commented that pickleball is not going anywhere and is played by a full <br />spectrum of players, both young and old. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hipp commented that from her experience living near a court, she did not think <br />either location would be an issue for noise. <br /> <br />Chair Horwath commented that he likes seeing the public engaged in this new sport. <br /> <br />Mui introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />RECOMMENDING MOVING FORWARD WITH DEDICATED PICKLEBALL <br />COURTS AT SPOONER PARK <br /> <br /> The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Williams. <br /> Ayes (7). Nays (0). Motion passed. <br /> <br /> <br />REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS <br />Commissioner Churcher commented that Pioneer Park looks nice. <br /> <br />Commissioner DeLong Miller commented that she has been by Pioneer Park once per week to <br />check out the progress. She commented that she has enjoyed getting out on the different trails. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schletty referenced the basketball court at Rondeau Park and asked about the <br />status of resurfacing.
