I reside at 1580 Merganser Court, Lino Lakes since 2004. I am <br />enquiring about the basketball court at the Pheasant Hills Park. I walk through the park on a <br />regular basis and notice the court is very rarely used. As you probably know, pickleball has <br />taken off and is the fastest growing sport in the country. The 4 courts by the firehouse off <br />Birch are always extremely busy. <br />Would the City consider either making that area a dual basketball/pickleball court by adding <br />lines and a net or simply making it a full pickle ball court? I strongly believe after discussing <br />with neighbors as well that the court would be used more frequently if it was converted to a <br />full pickle ball court or at least somehow make it a multipurpose area. <br />As a former Board Member at PHPA, I did reach out to them first to see if they could help fund <br />the project. They referred me to address this with the City since it is a City owned park. <br />Thank you for your consideration on this ask and would appreciate a response on what is <br />needed to make this a possibility. <br />Tony Marciano <br />763 258 4832
