Walter Reed Pickleball Project - Engagement #1

Walter Reed Pickleball Project - Engagement #1

Overhead view

The Walter Reed tennis courts will be undergoing conversion to a dedicated pickleball court facility. This decision was based on community feedback and a court score assessment within the Arlington Outdoor Courts Assessment ProjectBefore we plan any improvements, we need your input. Help us better understand how the current facility is working and how it can better serve you. Please share your feedback on the new pickleball court facility before the design process begins 

 

Currently, the tennis court area is striped with six pickleball courts and the basketball court with three. The tennis court area will be converted into nine dedicated pickleball courts. The County is committed to incorporating sound reduction measures as part of this project.  The basketball court will be converted back to its original use 

 

The scope for the pickleball court project includes: 

  • 9 dedicated pickleball courts at the tennis court area (e.g., court pavement, netting, lighting, fencing, and associated sport equipment) 
  • Sound reduction measures 
  • Seating and shade 
  • Pathways with ADA access improvements 
  • Stormwater management 
  • Signage 
  • Landscaping 
  • Basketball court restriping
