Fencing: 10' high is preferred, 4' can be used if top is padded and where ball bounce into traffic is not an issue centerline
Non- Volley Zone / Kitchen Vertical clearance above court: 18' Left Service Area
BASKETBALL COURT OVERLAY CONSIDERATIONS:
• Basketball courts come in half courts and full courts, but the dimensions of the courts found in Sideline Net Height parks and schoolyards vary greatly. at Sideline = 36 in.

Paths lead to all other park amenities and adjacent on-site parking Potential location for one stand-alone pickleball court with lighting and fencing, tree removal Tennis courts located down slope approximately 140'-150' from residential housing across both S. Juanita Avenue and Camino Real. Residences are between 5'-11'+ higher than the tennis courts S. JUANITA AVENUE

SITE CONSTRAINTS
Existing A.D.A. parking striping and ramp do not meet current building codes and would need to be updated. • A single stand-alone, lighted court would cost more than refinishing one tennis court and serve fewer people.

One court: 4 players. Four courts: 16 players

FERRELL AVE.

ANDERSON PARK ANALYSIS:
• 1 qty. existing tennis courts in north / south orientation can be overlayed to accommodate a multi-court with tennis and 4 pickleball courts NON-COMPLIANT • 1 qty. existing halt basketball court can be overlayed to accommodate a WALK multi-court with basketball and 1 pickleball court • Relatively level field can accommodate 1 stand-alone pickleball court with fencing and sports lighting and still allow for open field play in adjacent turf Existing fencing and sports court lighting at tennis court Existing sports court lighting at basketball court
Paths lead to all other park amenities including on-site and street parking Potential location for one stand-alone pickleball court with lighting and fencing, VAIL AVE possible tree removal depending on extent of surface rooting • Tennis courts located approximately 90' from residential housing across Ferrell Avenue. Basketball court approximately 180' from housing across Vail Avenue, partially screened by restroom building. Location of potential stand-alone court, as shown, is approximately 215' from housing across Vail and 100' across Ernest Street to school building.

Park Hours: 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

SITE CONSTRAINTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
POTENTIAL LOCATION FOR • Existing path from A.D.A. parking has portions of the walkway that are STAND-ALONE PICKLEBALL non-compliant and would need to be replaced. A survey would be needed to COURTS IN VARIOUS determine extent of walkways to be replaced.

CONFIGURATIONS • A single stand-alone, lighted court would cost more than overstriping one tennis ERNEST AVE court and half basketball court and serve fewer people. Overstriping one or both existing courts could serve: 16-20 players. Stand-alone court could serve: 4 players
Noise abatement may be needed for the residences across Vail Avenue, depending on the quantity and arrangement of courts
PICKLEBALL OVERLAY ON EXISTING COURTS & NEW COURT OPTIONS The number of on-site parking spaces may limit the number of courts that should potentially be installed at this location. 3 courts would increase parking needs by Anderson Park an additional 12 people.

One court is currently being used for two pickleball courts with temporary taped striping
Existing temporary striping is not ideal with basketball backboards and hoops encroaching into pickleball play space and backboard pole located within safety over run zone just outside of courts
Existing fencing and sports court lighting
Street parking only along Rockefeller Lane and Slauson Lane Existing A.D.A. parking along Rockefeller does not meet current code Paths lead to all other park amenities including street parking EXISTING A.D.A. Basketball/Pickleball courts located adjacent to busy Grant Avenue in the PATHS TO COURTS center of the park. There are no noise complaints or concerns currently at this location
SLAUSON LANE • Park Hours: 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

SITE CONSTRAINTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
• Not much open space available for a stand-alone pickleball court at this location.

Existing court concrete has patches that are pitting, spalling and previous repairs were carved into. These would need to be repaired. Another option would be to resurface and stripe the court with colored surfacing to better define the courts from the adjacent plaza to the east
• Existing A.D.A. parking striping and ramping along Rockefeller Lane should

GRANT AVENUE
be brought up to current code.
