Subject: Potential Washington Tennis and Pickleball Court Resurfacing and Direction
for Additional Pickleball Lininq and Court Colors
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Parks and Recreation Commission determine if additional pickleball court
lines should be added to Washington Tennis Courts #24, two pickleball courts per tennis court,
and change the court colors to blue and green with bright blue pickleball lines.
BACKGROUND
For the past three years, the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Department has worked with the
tennis and pickleball community to create more pickleball opportunities. Staff and the Pickleball
Task Force have had community engagement with members of both groups in a variety of ways,
including Zoom calls and site visits, to strive for fair and equitable use and quality of facilities.
After significant outreach and community input, the current court layouts of City -owned courts
include 11 pickleball and eight tennis courts.
Washington Courts
4 pickleball
4 tennis
Court #1 is shared
Washington Sports Court
3 pickleball
1 basketball and 1 futsal
Shared
Laguna Courts
2 pickleball
2 tennis
Both shared
Ray Courts
2 pickleball
2 tennis
Court #1 is shared
Total
11 pickleball
8 tennis
In addition, in late 2022, the Parks and Recreation Commission approved Washington Court #1 to
become pickleball priority Sunday -Saturday, 8am-10pm. In February 2023, the Parks and
Recreation Commission updated the Tennis Use Policy to the now titled Tennis and Pickleball
Court Use Policy.
Through community engagement, Parks and Recreation staff and Commissioners have been
informed about the quality of the Washington courts surface. Although the courts are still playable,
the surfacing has significant cracks and holes. Parks staff have been exploring resurfacing options
to see if the existing Capital Improvement Program budget has funds to complete the resurfacing
in Fiscal Year 2023-24.
1
Washington Tennis and Pickleball Court Additional Pickleball Lining August 17, 2023
The current estimate is higher than expected, but staff will be bidding the project within the next
month, with work expected to occur in the fall of 2023.
DISCUSSION
With the potential resurfacing, there is an opportunity to add additional pickleball lines to the courts.
However, the current courts can only accommodate two pickleball courts on each tennis court #2-
4 due to spacing constraints. Based on the information from the company when lining court #1,
there is not adequate spacing between the three courts to enable any more than 2 pickleball courts
for each tennis court. If additional lining for pickleball is approved, Washington Courts would have
four tennis courts and ten pickleball courts sharing the courts.
Staff also requests the Commission provide their thoughts on purchasing additional portable
pickleball nets should new pickleball lines be approved. The estimated cost is $600 per net. If the
Commission recommends the purchase of additional nets, staff will ask for funds in the mid -year
budget review.
There is also the opportunity to change the color of the courts. The current courts are red and
green with bright blue pickleball lines (same colors throughout the City courts). Staff recommends
changing the court colors to blue and green with bright blue pickleball lines for the following
reasons.
1. Research of related articles
2. Blue and green are better for users who maybe colorblind (GrassSports Australia)
3. Outreach to other cities
Due to the exponential cost, the ratio of tennis and pickleball courts, and the priority on Washington
court #1 for pickleball, installing permanent -only pickleball courts is not on the table at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based on preliminary discussions with tennis court resurfacing companies, staff estimates the cost
of resurfacing the courts and restriping with four tennis courts and ten pickleball courts is $40,000.
Resurfacing Washington Courts 1-4 $25,000 (estimated)
Restriping the 4 tennis and 10 pickleball courts $15,000 (estimated)
Total $40,000 (estimated)
If the low bid is within range of the estimate, there are adequate funds in the FY 2023-24 Capital
Improvement Program budget. If the cost far exceeds the estimate, staff will need to reevaluate
the project's funding source.

PROTANOPIA SIMULATION
Colour Blindness also known as Colour Vision Deficiency or more simply CVD affects
more than 1 million Australians. CVD varies greatly from the almost normal to the
hard to imagine world of those who see nothing but varying shades of grey. Many
people with CVD can have great difficulty in almost all aspects of their lives including
education, employment and participation in normal everyday activities, such as sport.
Imagine playing football whilst being unable to
differentiate between your team and the opposing
team's uniforms. Imagine playing cricket when the ball
appears to be the same colour as the grass. Imagine
playing netball on a court when the line markings
appear to be the same colour as the surface. Imagine
playing hockey and not being able to see the puck
flying at your head. The bright pink cricket ball
grassports.com.au
popular in Australia for night games is easy to see to
the normal human eye under flood lights, however,
to some with CVD that same ball can be almost
invisible. These are just some of the problems faced
every day by those with CVD. This is an educational
guide aimed at highlighting those difficulties and
providing information on how to reduce them.

Colour Blindness is one of the world's most common inherited, genetic disorders.
Males are more likely to be colour blind than females as the genes responsible for the
most common forms of colour blindness are on the X chromosome. Females have two X
chromosomes so a defect in one is typically compensated for by the other, while males
only have one X chromosome. As a result, about 8% of males and 0.5% of females are
colour blind.
We see colour through three types of specialised nerve cells called cones. These cones absorb red, blue and green
light enabling us to see the full spectrum of colours. In those with CVD, one or more of those cones are faulty or
don't function at all. The three types of CVD are Anomalous Trichromacy, Dichromacy and Monochromacy.
In people with Anomalous
Trichromacy all of their
three cone types are used
to perceive colour, but one
type of cone perceives colour
slightly out of alignment.
The different Anomalous
Trichromacy conditions are:
Protanomaly is a reduced
sensitivity to red
Deuteranomaly is a reduced
sensitivity to green
Tritanomaly is a reduced
sensitivity to blue
grassports.com.au
In people with Dichromacy
only two of their three cone
types are used to perceive
colour, so they have a total
absence of function of one
cone type.
The different Dichromatic
conditions are:
Protanopia is being unable to
perceive any red
Deuteranopia is being unable
to perceive any green
Tritanopia is being unable to
perceive any blue
People with Monochromacy
can see no colour at all, their
world consists of different
shades of grey ranging
from black to white. It is
extremely rare, occurring
only in approximately 1 in
every 33,000 people and its
symptoms can make life
very difficult.

Protan and Deutan Deficiencies: Protan and Deutan deficiencies are very common,
have many similarities and can vary from mild to severe forms. These conditions are
commonly known as red/green colour blindness. Someone with Protanopia will not
just be unable to see the colour red, they will also have difficulty discerning the colour
purple as they can't see the red element in the purple. This applies to all colours
with a red element. The next two pages contain a series of photos, the photos shown
on the left depict normal colour vision while the photos on the right depict how the
same image may appear to someone with the different types of Dichromatic vision.
The images are simulations of dichromatic vision only and are therefore not accurate
examples of how everyone with a colour vision deficiency might see.
Note the AFL field and running track colours are
almost the same in the Protanopia simulation.
Protanopes are more likely to confuse:
1. Black with many shades of red
2. Dark brown with dark green, dark orange
and dark red
3. Some blues with some reds, purples
and dark pinks
4. Mid -greens with some oranges
5. Yellows with bright greens
grassports.com.au
Note the red training squares disappear entirely
in the Deuteranopia simulation.
Deuteranopes are more likely to confuse:
i. Mid -reds with mid -greens
2. Blue -greens with grey and mid -pinks
3. Bright greens with yellows
4. Pale pinks with light grey
5. Mid -reds with mid -brown
6. Light blues with lilac

Tritanopia and Monochromacy: Unlike red -green color blindness Tritanopia and
Tritanomaly are very rare. They are not sex -linked traits and therefore women and
men are equally affected. Someone with Tritanopia will not just be unable to see the
colour blue, they will also have difficulty discerning the colour green as they can't
see the blue element in the green. This applies to all colours with a blue element. It is
important to be aware that different light conditions will change how different colours
are perceived. For example, even someone with a very mild colour vision deficiency
may have difficulty seeing the different colours shown in the below images depending
on whether or not they are outside on a sunny day or a rainy/cloudy day or they are
inside or outside under floodlighting. These varied light conditions affect how colour is
perceived by those with and without CVD.
TRITANOPIA MONOCHROMACY
Note the contrasting yellow and white lines in
the original photo appear to be the same colour
in the Tritanopia simulation.
Tritanopes are more likely to confuse:
1. Light blues with greys
2. Dark purples with black
3. Mid greens with blues
4. Oranges with reds
grassports.com.au
People with Monochromatic vision can see no
colour at all. Imagine, if you can, your entire
world looking like an old black and white movie.
This is the only world those with Monochromatic
vision know.

Colour Blindness is often not considered a serious impairment and is overlooked when
it comes to sports facility design. How many men, women and children in Australia are
currently being excluded from sport because schools, clubs and venues are unaware of
the difficulties faced by them?
4.5% of all participants and spectators are colour blind,
bear in mind that in male only teams and/or events,
that number increases to 8%, that's...
1 in every 12 men
Considering the colour blind when designing facilities
is not difficult. The impact on players and spectators
by not doing so could be far greater than a lot of
us are comfortable with. Participants with CVD often
do not perform as well and could turn away from
sporting activities altogether because of it. The
exclusion of anyone from any physically and socially
healthy activity is a serious issue, even more so
when considering the large number of Australians
and people worldwide with CVD. If a participant is
having difficulty discerning the ball, perimeter lines or
flags and signage, this could easily lead to accident
and injury, in that case, doesn't CVD then become a
community issue?
Spectators, whether watching live or on TV will lose
enjoyment and may discontinue watching if he or
she has troubling following games due to CVD. This
applies to all levels of sport from local, children's
games to elite, international events around the world
grassports.com.au
Venues often use colour coding for everything from
seat locations, toilet locations and car parking
information to advertising, venue maps and exit and
emergency signs. Players and spectators with CVD
can have difficulty navigating a venue and following
a game which diminishes their overall experience.
More importantly, safety can be a serious issue in
emergencies for those with CVD if they are unable
to clearly discern colour coded exit and emergency
signage, because the signs appear to be the same
colour as the background surface and don't stand out
in an emergency situation.
Many factors come into play when designing sporting
facilities and it's unrealistic to assume it would be
possible to address CVD in every case. However, if
we're aware of the difficulties faced by those with
CVD, we can then consciously consider them when
designing facilities and make positive choices in
an attempt to minimise the difficulties they face.
Contributing to the inclusion of anyone in sport is
always worth considering.

For many years, green was the only surface colour available in synthetic grass.
Today, manufacturers are offering more and more colour choices and vibrant colour
combinations have become the norm for sports surfacing.
Colour is not lust important for aesthetic reasons
but also for branding. Schools, clubs, councils,
sponsors and venues will often choose a colour
combination that reflects and maintains their
brand. Therefore, the idea of restricting colour
choices is less than appealing for all. However,
with a little consideration, it's not difficult to
design a colour blind friendly surface whilst still
maintaining branding, whatever your desired colour
combination may be.
As only line marking determines an area of play,
there are no "bad" surface colour choices or
combinations. Once a surface colour or colours
have been chosen, it's simply a matter of choosing
the right contrasting colours for the line markings.
Green and red are the most problematic colours for
the largest number of people with a colour vision
deficiency and the two colours together usually
clash, however, even this offending combination
is not off limits when designing a colour blind
friendly sports surface.
For example, if red and green are the desired
surface colour combination on a court with two
line markings, a workable combination would be
a green playing area and a red run off area with
black and white line marking. As red and black
often "clash", ideally the black lines would be
placed on the green playing area leaving the white
lines bordering the red run off area. The court is
now `colour blind friendly" even with the clashing
red and green colour combination.
The clashing red and green surface colours will still
be difficult to discern for many with CVD, however,
this will not affect their ability to discern the areas
of play, as only line marking determines an area of
play. All surface colour combinations are possible,
as long as the right contrasting line marking
colours are chosen. This is the key to designing
colour blind friendly surfaces with little or no
impact to aesthetics or branding.

The approximate light reflectance value of a colour
indicates the amount of visible light that a colour
will reflect. Black has a light reflectance value of o%
and absorbs all light. In contrast, white has a light
reflectance value of i00%. All colours fit within these
two extremes.
For best practice, aim to ensure a minimum colour
contrast ratio of 3:1 between adjacent colours at the
digital design stage, in order to achieve the minimum
recommended Light Reflectance Value differential

playing surface.
Even those with CVD can tell the difference between

a very light colour and a very dark colour, so another
option when using clashing colours together, such
as red and green, is to use a really light green and a
very dark red. Most people with CVD will at least be
able to distinguish the red from the green based on
light vs. dark. Knowing this may allow you to choose
a different shade of the same colour, rather than
having to eliminate one clashing colour altogether.
You can see in the top images that the red line marking
on the green surface is very difficult to see in the
Protanopia simulation, whereas in the bottom images,
the dark red line marking on the light green surface is

As more and more vibrant colours in varying shades
are introduced, we have more and more different
colour combinations to choose from. Designing a
colour blind friendly surface with four or more line
markings can be difficult, so the availability of a
greater range of colours and shades increases our
chances of finding a workable combination.
When using similar shades of different coloured lines
on the same surface, such as white and yellow for
example, be mindful that the two colours could look
very similar to some with CVD. If needing to utilise
two clashing line marking colours or two line marking
colours of similar shade, one option is to consider
the line marking placement on the surface. Keep the
clashing lines as far apart as possible, there will always

be some crossover, the idea is to minimise it as much
as you can. The top images show white lines on the
larger, outer court area and yellow lines on the smaller
inner court area. As you can see by the Protanopia
simulation, the two colours appear to be very similar.
By keeping the two line markings separated as much
as possible, we minimise crossover and reduce the
chances of confusion for those with CVD.
The bottom image on the left shows yellow, orange,
black and white line marking on a light blue surface.
The yellow and orange colour combination is not
always ideal but the placement of the yellow lines
on the outer court area and the orange lines on the
smaller, inner court area, again minimises crossover
and reduces the chances of confusion.

Interchanging playing area colours with run off area colours can have a big impact on
surface colour combinations as it allows more flexibility when choosing line marking
colours. This is particularly important when it comes to branding. If you have a logo of
red and blue, choosing a blue playing area and red run off area would be a better option
than the other way around. As red clashes with a lot more colours than blue does,
choosing the blue playing area will give you a greater choice of line marking colours.
For example, take a school with a logo of green, blue and difficult to discern for many people with CVD. To make a
yellow who have always surfaced their courts and fields

utilising a green playing area and blue run off area with
the logo colours, simply exchange the playing area and run

Differing broken lines or lines of varying thicknesses.
A possible alternative to trying to find a colour blind friendly surface and line marking
colour combination is to utilise differing broken lines or lines of varying thicknesses or
even a combination of both. Any surface colour or colour combination is possible, the
line markings would usually be white unless the court surface was a light/pale colour,
in which case black would be best suited.
The benefit of this option is that the different line markings
will be clearly discernible to all CVD sufferers in all light
conditions, even those with Monochromatic vision. The main
drawback to this option is the increased cost. Applying lines

of varying thickness or differing broken lines is more labour
intensive and will therefore increase the duration of the

As this guide demonstrates, it's not at all difficult to design sports surfacing for the
colour blind. It's simply a matter of a little research and forethought when choosing
colour combinations. This is also true when it comes to the design of stadiums, sports
halls, uniforms, balls, nets, flags, training aids and most other required components
of any sporting activity. While this manual has been produced for sports surfacing
design, the information supplied within is just as applicable to all of the above.
Choose your contrasting colours carefully.
Keep your colour palette limited to 2 or 3 colours where possible.
Use methods other than colour coding to ensure flags and signage
are clearly visible.
Use textures and/or patterns to show contrast, instead of colour.
Choose a ball colour that CVD players and spectators can easily see
against the playing surface colour.
Choose team and referee uniform colours that CVD sufferers can
differentiate between or design uniforms to be discernible through
methods other than colour.
Do a little research, make a little effort. It really is that easy.

BURLINGAME STAFF REPORT
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
Date: August 17, 2023
From: Margaret Glomstad, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Ad Hoc Committee for the Laguna Playground Renovation
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Commission review the staff report.
BACKGROUND
In the 2023-24 fiscal year, the City of Burlingame authorized Capital Improvement Funds to
prepare plans to replace the aging Laguna Park playground equipment, including ADA
improvements. At this time, there is no established budget to construct this project. However,
there are funds to begin the plans and formulate a budget should Capital Improvement or grant
funds become available.
As with previous playground renovations, a stakeholder committee was used to make important
decisions about playground configurations, color, elements, etc. The committees were comprised
of neighbors, Parks and Recreation staff, a landscape architect, and Parks and Recreation
Commissioners.
DISCUSSION
Committee members must attend several meetings in person and via Zoom. It is anticipated that
the process will take several months.
Parks and Recreation Commission Chair Pappajohn has appointed Commissioner Yu and herself
to the Ad Hoc committee.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as part of the design process.
