FAQs About Pickleball in Longmont
City staff frequently hear from pickleball advocates about the need for additional pickleball courts within the City. As the sport’s popularity has increased, so, too, has crowding on existing courts.
The recent addition of two new pickleball courts at Wertman Park is a will help meet the demand for more pickleball in Longmont, but we understand it does not completely fulfill the need.
As stewards of taxpayer money with limited staff and resources, the City must juggle the competing desires of the community when planning upcoming projects. The City is also reviewing potential opportunities to create additional pickleball courts on existing surfaces as staff time and budgetary resources allow.
Tennis courts that host USTA sanctioned tournaments are not allowed to have other lines on them. Pratt Park has USTA dedicated tennis courts and is therefore not an option for pickleball court lines. The City may someday be able to provide additional courts at Clark Centennial Park and Carr Park – utilizing the in-line hockey rinks as multi-use – as staff time and resources allow.
Pickleball players, teams, and advocacy groups often come to the City offering to contribute funds to build more courts. While we appreciate the offers of support, construction funding is not the only resource necessary to build new facilities. City staff are working on an existing list of approved projects – often in neighborhoods that have been waiting years for their park or renewal. We hope the many local pickleball enthusiasts will continue to advocate for pickleball and appreciate the understanding that this is a slow process with many competing public requests.
One of the most effective ways for the community to bring attention to new recreational activities or facilities is by speaking at a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) meeting. The PRAB makes recommendations to the City Council, such as which projects to prioritize. While advocating before PRAB does not assure the project gets completed, it does get community sentiment into the official public record.
