TITLE:
Discussion about noise mitigation at Bushmaster Park.
DESIRED OUTCOME:
Discussion and possible direction to staff about mitigating noise from pickleball play at parks.
Executive Summary:
Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Events and City Council have previously discussed the topic of noise surrounding Bushmaster Park pickleball courts over the past three years but not at a concentrated level, and have not included the pickleball courts at Ponderosa Park. After the construction contract approval on May 6, 2025, to construct the new pickleball, basketball and tennis courts at Bushmaster Park, City Council requested to speak about noise mitigation specifically at Bushmaster Park post construction. The pickleball courts at Bushmaster Park opened in the middle of November 2025, and include the direction provided by City Council in the layout, construction, and City Code changes.
If Council wishes to move forward with a more robust conversation on noise mitigation at Bushmaster Park, staff request that Ponderosa Park be included in the discussion and direction.
