Pickleball facility at Stone Park
The city is building a 24-court pickleball complex at Stone Park, and the site plan just cleared the commission. A neighbor showed up to argue it's a $5 million bet on a fad sport that will pave over the park's last green space — but the commission only rules on whether plans meet code, and they do.
