Chanhassen approves pickleball court resurfacing project

The Chanhassen City Council unanimously approved a plan to resurface the pickleball courts at the recreation center during the summer months. The improvement project will temporarily close the courts for several weeks but is expected to extend their usability for years to come.

Meeting date: Apr 17, 2025
Published Jun 14, 2026

The city council's decision to move forward with the pickleball court resurfacing represents an investment in one of the community's popular recreational amenities. While the exact cost was not detailed in the meeting materials, the project is scheduled to take place this summer, requiring a temporary shutdown of the courts during the work.

Beyond the recreation center improvements, the council also highlighted several upcoming community activities and initiatives. City Center Park will host an Easter egg candy hunt this weekend, and residents can participate in the "Nomadic Gnome" self-guided outdoor adventure program running from Earth Day (April 22) through the summer solstice (June 20).

The council also announced that the Communications Department is hiring a summer intern. Interested applicants can find details and submit applications through the city's website at chanhassenmn.gov/job.

In a traffic safety measure, authorities will increase speed patrols this spring on a one-mile stretch of County Road 101 between Lyman Boulevard and Pioneer Trail. The focused enforcement effort aims to encourage safer driving practices in that area of the city.
