Dilapidated tennis courts at Mills Park in 2024, where six new pickleball courts will be constructed.
April 7, Spanish Springs Construction will begin work on six pickleball courts at Mills Park, said a news release from Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space.
The work is anticipated to be completed by Sept. 1.
“The existing tennis courts will be replaced with post-tension concrete pickleball courts to include new nets and posts, increased footprint, and separation fencing between courts,” parks officials said. “The existing tennis courts and some surrounding areas, including the sidewalk access from North Pratt Avenue and the grass area east of the aquatic facility, will be closed for the entirety of the project.”
To be developed under a roughly $1 million contract, the project was funded through a variety of sources including American Rescue Plan Act, a Community Development Block Grant, Carson City quality of life capital funding (1/8 cent sales tax), city capital improvement program and a donation from the Foundation for Carson City Parks and Recreation.
