Commissioner Sis asked if there would be a value in placing more courts in one location for <br /> tournaments, or whether the preference would be to have a lesser number of courts in more <br /> locations. <br /> Ms. replied that she would prefer to have courts in more locations. <br /> Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood stated that staff meets with all youth sports <br /> organizations in March, and they do encourage everyone to pick up after themselves. He <br /> recognized that tournaments are chaotic with a large number of people coming and going from the <br /> park in a single day and some stuff is left behind. He stated that tonight the Commission will <br /> consider adding more pickleball in Ramsey. He noted that there will be a request to add pickleball <br /> in addition to rehabbing the tennis court at Riverdale Park. He stated that there is use of the tennis <br /> courts and there have been comments that people would like those courts to remain. He stated that <br /> there could be an opportunity to transition the tennis courts at Central Park to additional pickleball <br /> courts. He was not aware of any substantial problems with the pickleball courts at Central Park, <br /> noting that there are cracks that have been filled but that is more of an aesthetic issue. <br /> 3.
