Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Ankeny, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

Construct four outdoor pickleball courts at the Hawkeye Park Sports Complex. Pickleball has seen a 650% increase in the last six years, according to USA Pickleball Association. The biggest subset of that growth is not in the over-60 crowd, but in the younger demographic. Pickleball courts are routinely requested by Ankeny residents. Constructing outdoor permanent pickleball courts would meet a community need and provide opportunities for residents of all ages to participate in this popular growing sport. Currently, the Parks & Recreation Department offers pickleball leagues and tournaments utilizing temporary nets and courts. Both the leagues and tournaments continue to grow in popularity, with capacity limitations enforced due to available space. The addition of four permanent pickleball courts would allow for increased lessons, leagues and special events. The courts would be utilized by the community for free when not programmed, similar to area tennis courts.
