Hi
As I’ve shared with you, work is underway to develop a Tennis and Pickleball Court Study for
the Boulder Parks and Recreation Department. I thought of your balanced input, and would
love to request your input at an upcoming Focus Group so that the collective vision of the
community for tennis and pickleball courts in Boulder can be developed. In addition to the
established tennis and pickleball organizations in Boulder that will participate in their own
focus groups, we are reaching out to some self-organized players like yourself who are not
affiliated with the larger clubs to gather a wider perspective of players.
The City of Boulder has contracted with a consultant to conduct and develop this study and
they will be in town on October 4th to conduct interview in-person. Our consultants, Mike and
Kristina, are copied on this email to assist with scheduling. We are very excited to have PROS
on board as they did a fantastic job with our 2015 Aquatics Feasibility Study. Once we hear
back from most of you all, Mike and Kristina will email to you a calendar invite for the meeting.
Please respond to this email by MONDAY OCTOBER 2 with your two most preferred dates
and times from the list below. *
The focus groups will be conducted IN-PERSON at the parks and recreation offices, 3198
Broadway, and will last approximately 45 minutes to one hour..
· Wednesday October 4th 9-9:50am
· Wednesday October 4th 10-10:50am
· Wednesday October 4th 11-11:50am
If you are unable to attend interviews on the morning of October 4, we hope you will still join
us for the public meeting that evening 6-7:30pm at the OSMP Hub Building, 2520 55th Street,
Boulder.
Thank you for your interest in Boulder Parks and Recreation. We are looking forward to
hearing back from you.
My best,
Ali Rhodes
