Basketball at Memorial Park

At the regular park board meeting of September 13, 2021, the board discussion whether there was a need to impose restrictions on full court basketball use at Memorial Park. The discussion was initiated by recent resident feedback.

After discussion, and receiving additional input from residents, the board reached a consensus to create a more robust educational campaign around when and how the public should obtain permits for park activities. Staff will work to revise permitting forms for electronic submission. Staff will also work to make the permit application process easier to find on the website and increase signage in parks – potentially featuring a QR code linking to permit requirements and applications.

*There are no future plans to modify accessibility or existing operations for the basketball courts at Memorial Park. *
