Background

Pickleball, a fast-paced racquet sport, has taken the nation by storm, and the City of Victoria is no exception. Recognizing the passion of its residents, the City decided to invest in dedicated pickleball courts, providing a safe and enjoyable space for players of all ages and skill levels.

The Project

HTPO (now HEI) worked closely with the City of Victoria and engaged with the local pickleball community to ensure that the project met their unique needs and expectations. With paving on three sides and a wetland on the other, an eight-court facility was placed into the tight site. Once the fencing was placed, it looked as if it had been there all along as the grades were meshed in all around. The court lighting is on a timer system, allowing the courts to extend game time well into the evenings. A shaded seating area for spectators was also built next to the courts.
