What happened

Council approved an extra $750,000 for the Ray Park Clubhouse project to rebuild four outdoor tennis courts, add site improvements, and repair the clubhouse stairs — moved up into this year because the city has the cash on hand. Appropriation introduced, 2:23:59

Parks staff said the new courts replace six that failed required safety testing and were paved over for parking during the clubhouse project, and the city is seeking a roughly $200,000 USTA grant to help offset the cost, with room designed in for future pickleball courts. Parks staff explanation, 2:28:44

Who it affects

If you use Ray Park, expect four rebuilt tennis courts and clubhouse stair repairs this year — with a future phase designed to add pickleball courts if funding allows.
