Cholla Park, Scottsdale Pickleball Courts Conversion (Update)
Below is an email from Kira Peters, Parks & Recreation Manager – City of Scottsdale
Hello Pickleball Players,
I wanted to give everyone a quick update on the timeline for the identified conversion of the two Cholla Park tennis courts to eight pickleball courts in the City of Scottsdale. The conversion/resurfacing work will begin on September 22nd with the goal of being complete by end of October.
The City has updated the Cholla Park page to include the 8 pickleball courts with estimated completion dat ( http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/parks/cholla-park) and pickleball is also noted on main page in the recent news section at http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/news.
Finally, we plan to promote the new pickleball courts in the Winter/Spring 2016 edition of the Parks and Recreation brochure which will be available on-line and in print mid- November 2015.
I will continue to keep everyone updated as we progress as we hope to plan a get together to celebrate the new courts in Scottsdale. Any questions please let me know. Hope everyone is doing well!
All the Best,
Kira Peters, CPRP | CPSI
