From: Nicole Acquisti, Parks and Recreation Manager — (650) 558-7337
Subject: Burlingame Pickleball Updates and the Modification to Line One Tennis
Court with Four Pickleball Courts
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Parks and Recreation Commission review the updates regarding Pickleball
options in Burlingame and approve the lining of one tennis court at Washington Park to
accommodate four Pickleball courts.
BACKGROUND
On May 20, 2021, the Parks and Recreation Commission approved:
1. Adding one Pickleball court on each of the four tennis courts at Washington Park
2. Resuming the fee -based drop -in program on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 am — 1
pm
3. Exploring the use of The Burlingamer for indoor play.
On June 17, 2021, the Parks and Recreation Commission modified the number of Pickleball courts
on the Washington Tennis Courts due to additional community input and staff research to lining
two Washington Park Tennis Courts with two Pickleball courts each.
DISCUSSION
As discussed at the May and June Parks and Recreation Commission meetings, striping of the
courts on the Washington Park Tennis Courts would occur after August 23, 2021, once the summer
programs have concluded. With the upcoming lining, staff has been notifying community members
about the coming changes through email updates, posted signage on the court, and attending the
drop -in program to speak with the Pickleball participants.
The outreach indicated that the Pickleball players still had concerns about the number of Pickleball
courts, with the prevailing opinion that lines for Pickleball on the tennis court should accommodate
four Pickleball courts (Exhibit A) instead of two. Therefore, staff consulted with the USA Pickleball
Association to confirm that it was possible with the measurements of our existing courts.
1
Pickleball Updates August 19, 2021
Washington Tennis Court #1 is 1201 x 60'W (Exhibit B). There is a mesh net separating Courts
#1 and #2. Given the USA Pickleball Association specifications (Exhibit C), four P.ickleball courts
would be able to fit onto Washington Tennis Court #1.
The benefit of putting four Pickleball courts on one Tennis court is it would allow for all Pickleball
players to play in one area and would open more courts for Tennis players. Additionally, the mesh
netting will ensure the Tennis and Pickleballs remain in their designated courts.
There were comments from a couple of the Pickleball players that they were concerned about the
closeness of the courts if four courts were put onto one Tennis court. However, the dimensions
listed in Exhibit C are in line with Pickleball Regulations. In addition, some of the Pickleball players
commented that they had played on four Pickleball courts on one Tennis court, and it was
acceptable.
The lining of the courts is scheduled for the week of Monday, August 23. If the Commission
approves the change, it will not alter the schedule.
Once stripped, Parks and Recreation staff will be putting up temporary signage in order to be able
to make adjustments as needed before creating permanent guidelines. This will allow flexibility to
adjust the rules as Tennis and Pickleball navigate the newly formed shared space.
The Fee -based drop -in will resume on August 25 after the courts have been lined.
Additionally, the Burlingame Soccer Club and Parks and Recreation Staff have discontinued using
The Burlingamer for Pickleball play due to the lack of attendance. According to those who tested
the facility, the ground has dead spaces that prohibited effective Pickleball play.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of 4 court striping is $800 per court ($3200 total)

Subject: Converting tennis court to PB courts
It would be wonderful if Burlingame converted a tennis court to a possible 4 pickleball courts. PB is a fast
growing sport and appeals to players of all ages. In addition to recreational and social aspects of game, players
could easily patronize businesses on Burlingame Avenue.
Having additional outdoor courts would be great for the community.

RE: Conversation with Isa Kravitz - Exhibit for Parks and Recreation Commission
Hi Nicole and Margaret,
To clarify, if we only painted pickleball lines on Washington Park court #1, the USPTL and USTA teams would be able to
rent courts 2, 3 and 4 for their matches. League play matches require the use of 3 tennis courts simultaneously. This
would allow for pickleball and scheduled tennis matches to take place simultaneously.
Please let me know if you need any further questions,

Subject: Conversation with Isa Kravitz - Exhibit for Parks and Recreation Commission
Good afternoon Margaret and Nicole,
I had a good conversation this afternoon with Isa Kravitz, a team captain for one of the SFTPL teams that plays in
Washington Park. Her team has been playing on Wednesday mornings for many years. She expressed concern with the
concept of having 2 pickleball courts on Washington court #2, and for allowing Pickleball to have priority access to the
courts on Mondays and Wednesday. Her position is that a tennis team that has paid to use the courts on a certain day
for many years should have priority and be able to continue to use the courts as previously scheduled.
I did mention that there is ongoing discussion on this topic and that staff would be presenting to Parks and Rec
Commission on 8/19 on the possibility of having 4 courts be placed on Washington Tennis Court #1. We discussed that if
this design was approved, the USTA and SFPTL teams would be able to continue to reserve Wednesday mornings for
their matches, and the pickleball group could hold their scheduled time on court #1.
Please include the contents of our conversation in the upcoming staff report.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
".

Dear Barb and Mitch,
Thank you so much for supporting Pickleball in Burlingame. Your email to Nicole and Kevin is great.
Today, I should receive the layout for four courts in the enclosed tennis court. At the park commissioners
meeting, it was very clear that there was not enough space between the ends of the nets and the wall and also
behind the back lines of the pickleball courts to the wall. This presented a legal liability, and based on
information from the city attorney, 4 courts could not be placed in the enclosed tennis court.
It saddens me, that I cannot enjoy playing pickleball in my own community because there is much
disagreement, unkind words and drama on the courts.
Your friendship, kindness and laughter all means so much to me. Barb ceases to stop laughing at the plays on
the court and it feeds my soul.
Much love, Juanita

Hi Nicole and Kevin,
Thank you for supporting pickleball in Burlingame.
It's a great family sport that offers generational interplay.
It's also very social.
I understand that here are several proposals on how to accommodate pickleball and all the other fun sports and
recreational activities in Burlingame.
The sports court in Washington Park has been a great outdoor space allowing 3 pickleball courts and giving
enough space around the courts for those waiting to play to socialize.
Pickleball is a sport as much as it is a vehicle for socializing.
Players talk to each other and cheer each other on between games.
That is where friendships are forged.
It would be great if that sports court were made into permanent pickleball courts and the basketball court be
put where the enclosed tennis court is.
Aerobics and zumba classes could still be held on the pickleball courts at designated hours.
The next best option would be putting four pickleball courts on the enclosed tennis court.
The problem is limited space.
There would not be space for watching and coaching players on the court.
There is very high interest in pickleball during the limited hours that have been offered.
Sometimes 20 players may be waiting their turn to play on the 3 courts.
If there are permanent courts many more young families and multigenerational families would be able to enjoy
the game.
Please consider making permanent pickleball courts for Burlingame.
Best regards,
Barbara Fong

Re: Pickleball Courts in Burlingame
Well said Barbara Fong. Hopefully non pickleball players will learn about what makes up a pickleball
community.
As a pickleball player myself, I like many other players travel through out the bay area to play and to make
friends with pickleball people. We have invited Burlingame players to play in SF and to Foster City.
In February 2021 someone mentioned Washington park in Burlingame was a nice place to play. Then there
were about 12 core players. It was well organized and very welcoming. Today there are probably 30 core
players. The wait time to play of course is a lot longer, but it also gives people more time to socialize.
The wait time is what makes the current pickleball courts such an ideal area. We can see all three courts without
any barriers, and we are able to interact with the players.
If pickleball courts were to move to the tennis courts, we would lose a lot of the social aspect of the game.
This is my suggestion about the Washington park venue to put it in line with the bay area.
1. Do not add any pickleball courts in the tennis courts.
2. Have the pickleball players set up and take down nets. A lock box would be nice to store the equipment.
3. Have the pickleball players police the area. From my experience I have not seen a dirty area after pickleball
players leave.
4. Eliminate any fee to play. Many players come to play one or two (15 minute) games per day, and it doesn't
make sense to pay. Fees will stop out of town people from coming and there will be less business for local
shops and restaurants.
5. Set times to play pickleball. Most other venues that have multiple use areas have designated pickleball to
start at 10 am to 1 or 2 pm per day.
As pickleball grows in popularly, hopefully Burlingame can see fit to plan a venue with 6 to 8 courts.
Thanks
Mitch Tom

Hi Kevin and Nicole,
I would like to share my support for painting 4 Pickle Ball courts on one of the tennis courts (I believe court
1). The remodel to the park and recreation center is absolutely amazing! I still play tennis there and now take
my grandchild to the fabulous playground. By adding one additional sport, it will round out everyones interest
in the park. I have recently started PB with Jack's drop in group, and it has been a nice group of people to
develop my skills and practice the sport. Please allow this painting for Pickle Ball on Tennis court #1 !

Dear Kevin and Nicole,
This letter is written in support of adding 4 pickleball courts on tennis court 1 at Washington Park.
I'm currently playing on the portable courts set up on the basketball court (two days weekly), and having
additional pickleball courts would greatly help to alleviate the crowded numbers of players and wait time.
Court 1 at Washington Park has the additional feature of a surrounding fence/barrier which will help keeps
balls contained while playing.
Thank you for your support of this rapidly growing sport. Your efforts and interest today, will have pickleball
families and communities moving/exercising and enjoying this great sport for years to come!

Subject: Pickleball use of tennis courts at Washington Park
Dear Nicole and Kevin,
I am writing to recommend that we include four (4) PIckleball courts on the Tennis Court One (1) at
Washington Park. This plan is recommended by Pickleball Pro Jack Elward and many of us who play Pickleball
on the basketball courts now.
I have played tennis weekly at Washington Park for over 20 years. The sport has grown over the years and use
of the tennis courts has increased. It is difficult to even get a court to play on due to leagues (both day and
USTA), tennis classes, BIS student use, etc. With one court used for Pickleball there will still be three tennis
courts available. This maximizes the use of the facility for all.
In addition, I play Pickleball on the basketball court and using Court One for four courts will allow everyone a
chance to play. Currently we only have three Pickleball courts on the basketball court. Using the tennis court
will allow for more and safer play as the courts are contained by fencing. There is also a bench next to the court
for sitting just as in tennis.
Please consider restriping of Tennis Court One for four Pickleball courts maintaining three for tennis.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Hello Kevin and Nicole,
I hope this finds you well.
I am writing to support pickleball lines to make several pickleball courts on one or more of the Washington
Park tennis courts. I have played there and think Court 1 would be most suitable because it has more fencing
around it and that would go a long way to preventing balls from interfering with other tennis courts.
Thanks for your work on Parks and Rec and pickleball,

Thank you again for coming out today. One gentleman said "it's so nice that they care enough to come out"
Amazing.....
I am in agreement that you do know best. I do think that 4 courts painted on one tennis court will be the best
for us. I think if we need to wait for approval it would be perfect...
Thank you for listening and being there.... Have a great week...

Nicole, I'd like to express my support for using one tennis court to add the lines for four PB courts. This
solution seems to be the most efficient when in comes to limited park resources, still allowing four courts free
for any tennis players

Hello Nicole and Kevin,
I have been playing Pickleball on the basketball courts during the summer on Mondays and Wednesdays, and
love the sport! Both physical and social aspects of the game are wonderful. And the Burlingame community of
Pickleballers are great. I want to show my support for putting PB lines down on one of the tennis courts in the
park. I hope we can have even more opportunities and court space for this sport with the additional painting
of lines.
Thank you,
Mari Seki
