Resident urges resurfacing and pickleball striping at Sunshine Park

A resident identified in the transcript as "Teddy" urged the Parks and Recreation Commission on March 5 to resurface the basketball court at Sunshine Park and to consider striping it for two pickleball courts alongside the basketball lines.

Teddy told commissioners the court has not been resurfaced for many years and noted that the city recently resurfaced courts at other parks. He suggested the commission follow examples from nearby cities that combine pickleball and basketball layouts and said he would be willing to help the city locate such examples and provide funding if the city’s budget cannot accommodate the work this year.

During the public comment period staff indicated they would follow up. A staff member told the speaker they would reach out to "Mr. Lloyd" with an update and follow up on the items raised. The transcript does not specify a timeline, budget estimate, or whether the item will be added to a future agenda for formal consideration.

The comment was made during the public comment portion of the commission meeting; no formal motion or vote on the resurfacing request occurred during the session.
