Yesterday, Seattle’s Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners held a Q&A session regarding the Park District’s upcoming 6-year funding plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you already know, they want to enable Seattle Parks to catch up with deferred maintenance of outdoor courts, and they want to develop two new dedicated pickleball outdoor court facilities (16+ pickleball courts to be added across two locations by 2028).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You submitted questions<\/a> ahead of the meeting as they had asked. Unfortunately, none of your questions were addressed during the Q&A session. All you got, was this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Seattle Parks and Recreation has received many comments advocating for more pickleball courts. We have heard you. All of your comments will be shared with the board members.”<\/em><\/p>\n–Brian Judd, Seattle Parks and Recreation<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Did you send comments or questions? Did you only advocate for more pickleball courts, or did you have more specific questions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you feel heard?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n We expect the video of the full meeting to be available on the Parks Board channel<\/a> in a few days. In the meantime, here are the parts of the meeting that addressed pickleball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
