Tennis and pickleball courts: Oakland Terrace is shot, Marigas property floated
Summary
Mayor Branch asked about converting the Martin Theatre rec center's basketball court or finding new tennis/pickleball locations after Oakland Terrace's courts were declared beyond repair. The board discussed building new courts at the old Americas (Marigas) property behind the wastewater treatment plant — which can't support vertical construction but works fine for courts — and possibly adding parking and food-truck electrical there.
