*** PLEASE JOIN US FOR A COMMUNITY MEETING - APRIL 8, 2024 ***

WHEN: Monday, April 8, 2024 @ 6:30PM PST

WHERE: Mountain View Community Center - Redwood Hall - 201 S Rengstorff Ave, Mountain View, CA 94040

As part of the Pickleball Study, Design & Construction project, in February an online survey was released to gather data and feedback from the community on possible court locations, amenities, desired number of new courts, play frequency, and other feedback. On April 8, 2024 at 6:30pm, Public Works staff will host an in-person community meeting at the Community Center to provide an additional opportunity for community input and feedback.

The feedback received from the survey and community meeting will be used to review feasibility and assess potential new, dedicated pickleball court locations, amenities, number of courts, and develop a recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Commission this summer, followed by City Council in the future. (The City will not be removing or converting any existing tennis courts for this project.)

We look forward to seeing you there!

For any questions, please contact Faryal.Saiidnia@mountainview.gov.

Current Update

The City of Mountain View’s Pickeball Study, Design & Construction project is underway, with the study phase initiated. The study will review feasibility and assess potential court locations, identify amenities, and prepare a conceptual design layout for new dedicated pickleball courts.

A community survey was completed in February 2024 requesting feedback on potential court locations and amenities. Following the survey, a community meeting will be held to provide initial study findings and another opportunity for community input and feedback. The feedback received from the survey and community meeting will provide staff with the information to develop and identify the number, location(s), and layout of the pickleball courts to recommend to the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council.

Project History

Pickleball, a racket sport that mixes tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, has become one of the fastest growing sports in America over the last few years. In 2015, the City launched a pickleball program using a temporary painted asphalt court at Rengstorff Park. The program quickly grew in popularity within the community and, in 2018, three pickleball courts were installed at Rengstorff Park—two courts dedicated with nets and one court lined without a net to provide flexible use for pickleball or “ball wall” users.

The City has seen a large increase in the number of pickleball players utilizing the temporary and permanent courts as well as an increase in the number of community requests for additional pickleball courts to be installed. To accommodate these growing requests in the short term, a pilot program for additional dual-striped tennis/pickleball courts was implemented at Rengstorff Park.

In order to support the continued growth of pickleball and provide players more access to courts, the City is conducting a pickleball court design study to assess potential locations and prepare a conceptual design plan.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in 2023 and a consultant has been awarded.
