North Pointe Park Update <br /> Rick DeGardner, Director of Public Services, updated Park Members on North Pointe <br /> Park. DeGardner address the Board by stating some recent improvements have occurred <br /> at North Pointe Park. After observing numerous skid marks on the hardcourt surfaces, <br /> staff installed, "No Skateboarding, Roller Blading, or Bicycles on Court Surfaces" sign <br /> (the sign was also at Arena Acres Park). The additional signage seems to be helping. <br /> Some residents also requested fencing on both end of the pickleball court to prevent the <br /> balls from rolling into the wetland area. The fencing was installed a few weeks ago . <br /> Pat Huelman, Park Board Chair, asked DeGardner is he had an idea of bow much use the <br /> pickleball courts are getting. DeGardner responded that there are a couple ladies who use <br /> it a few times a week but unsure who else or how many more are using it. <br /> Huelman followed up by stating that the Park Board should keep hard surfaces in mind in <br /> future discussions regarding the Recreation Complex as it seems to be what people want. <br /> Page 4 <br />
