Pickleball court shortage at Gellert Park
Pickleball is booming — up to 35 players crowd Gellert Park's two dedicated courts while tennis players and pickleballers clash over shared courts with no posted rules. The Commission directed staff to pilot updated rules and signage and will gather community input November 24; a full $295,000 Westlake court resurfacing remains unfunded.
Westlake Park Public-Private Partnership with The Olympic Club
Speakers slammed a proposed deal in which the Olympic Club would spend $10 million on Doelger Senior Center improvements in exchange for guaranteed weekly access — warning it would mean synthetic turf, fencing, and exclusive use of a public park. The council stressed no decision has been made and town halls are scheduled.
Edgewood Park illegal dumping and deterioration
Neighbors described mattresses, furniture, and appliances dumped at Edgewood Park, cars parked in fire lanes, and a playground slide boarded up for over a year. The mayor pointed to the iHelp reporting tool, the illegal dumping task force, and a $15,000 camera grant program.
