As a long standing Realtor in the Ahwatukee community, clients are always searching for the best schools, parks and recreational activities. Desert Foothills Park was never completed and dedicated Pickleball courts and additional parking would be a wonderful addition for Ahwatukee residents and future residents.
I am a Physical Education Teacher writing in support of adding Pickleball courts to Desert Foothills Park. Pickleball is a lifetime sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Not only does it have numerous health benefits but it also helps to build community. These courts would provide a great opportunity to promote physical activity for everyone. I have recently added pickleball to my curriculum and believe these courts would help support the game.
I'm so disappointed in the measly funding allocated to public transit and pedestrian infrastructure for the neighborhoods south of Thomas. Many residents there can not drive due to disability or economic stratification. But yes, by all means, prioritize pickleball courts. Meanwhile, people in wheelchairs roll down Virgina Ave. without even the refuge of a consistent sidewalk to keep them safe. There's more to D6 than Ahwahtukee. Start acting like it and advocating for necessary infrastructure.
I support adding pickleball courts at the Desert Foothill Park. The courts at Pecos park are already fully occupied at prime times and Desert Foothills park would be the perfect spot to expand Pickleball in Phoenix. With 1050 new homes being built on the recently sold 373 acre State Trust land just to the west of Desert Foothills Park there will be a much greater need for Pickleball courts and the tax revenue to support these projects.
Thank you.
I am writing on behalf of the Ahwatukee resident pickleball players. Please choose to fund 8 new pickleball courts at Desert foothills Park where over 800 supporters have petitioned for this upgrade to the park. In the short term, please line out the current tennis courts with lines for the Pickleball courts so that we can reduce our carbon footprint by walking or biking to the park to play instead of driving to Pecos Park or Gilbert and Tempe parks.
I am writing on behalf of the project to support the pickleball courts at Desert Foothills Park. We ask the city to consider allocating funds to add 8 or more pickleball courts and a parking lot. In the interim we ask that our current 2 tennis courts be refinished and lined for dual purpose. The present courts are underutilized and in need of maintenance. In the almost 20 years I have lived nearby, the park has see4n little improvement or upkeep. Thanks.
I am a 25 year Ahwatukee resident and Desert Foothills Park has never been finished. The area planned as a Community Center is used for illegal dumping. There is a great movement to build pickleball courts which I fully support as I work during the day to pay my taxes, and can only play at Pecos after 5:30 PM & weekends. I often have to wait over 30 min betw. games. Why is the funding collected from taxes & impact fees in this area for the past 25 years not being used to finish this park?
As a life-long advocate for youth sports & fitness, we are asking you to please allocate budget to add dedicated Pickleball courts to Desert Foothills Park & refurbish the current courts. Currently, Steve Manolis is leading an effort to donate refurbished paddles to the Boys and Girls Clubs in Phoenix and we have proposed to councilmembers to offer Free clinics to help increase access to pickleball as a safe and healthy recreational low cost activity for anyone to enjoy. Thank you.
I am fully in support of adding PICKLEBALL COURTS AT DESERT FOOTHILLS PARK. I am asking the city to consider funding to add at least 8 Pickleball courts and add an additional parking lot. This park has never been finished. I am asking that our current tennis courts be refinished and lined for picklball (dual purpose). Lighting is very bad and needs to be updated. With this I (and MANY others here) would not have to drive to further courts thereby saving the environment and fuel.

We would love to be able to walk/ride to our local park to play pickleball rather than driving to Pecos- go green.

We are in support of the trial budget as is.
