Hey Mike and Kristina,
I’d be happy to help out with the Tennis and Pickleball Court Study. My preferred times are:
#1 11-11:50
#2 10-10:50
9-9:50- guess what? I’ll be playing Pickleball (of course ).

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
