Pickleball Courts at Smith Sports Complex

Parks and Recreation is proposing outdoor pickleball courts at either the Smith Sports Complex at Fort Lewis College, or Schneider Park. After a thorough public process, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, at their August 10, 2022 meeting, made a recommended to City Council to pursue construction of outdoor pickleball courts at the Smith Sports Complex. After reviewing the information presented at a City Council meeting in September 2022, the City Council gave staff direction to survey the proposed area at Schneider Park, and will revisit the two proposed areas after the survey is complete.
