Chanhassen approves pickleball court resurfacing project
The Chanhassen City Council unanimously approved a resurfacing project for the pickleball courts at the local recreation center during its Thursday meeting. The upgrade will temporarily close the courts for several weeks this summer but is designed to extend their usability for years to come.
The council's decision to move forward with the pickleball court improvements reflects the city's commitment to maintaining recreational facilities for its residents. According to a council member, "The improvements mean that the courts will be closed for a few weeks this summer but the upgrades will keep the action going strong for years to come." The temporary closure is a necessary trade-off for the long-term benefit of the facility.
Beyond the pickleball project, the council highlighted several upcoming community activities. An Easter egg candy hunt is scheduled for this weekend at City Center Park. The city is also launching the "Nomadic Gnome," a self-guided outdoor adventure program running from Earth Day (April 22) through the summer solstice (June 20).
The Communications Department announced it is hiring a summer intern. Interested applicants can submit their applications through the city's website at chanhassenmn.gov/job.
In a separate public safety initiative, city authorities will increase speed enforcement on a one-mile stretch of County Road 101 between Lyman Boulevard and Pioneer Trail throughout the spring season. The targeted patrol effort aims to improve road safety in that area.
