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. (Name unclear) 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.
