Lisle Park District Examines Pickleball Expansion: The Lisle Park District is exploring the possibility of adding indoor pickleball courts as part of a new indoor recreation facility. The district recently launched an Indoor Recreation Feasibility Study to assess the demand for expanded recreational options, with pickleball emerging as a key focus.
Strong Community Support for Indoor Pickleball
During the 2023 Lisle Park District Master Plan survey, residents showed significant interest in indoor pickleball courts. Survey results revealed that:
- 30% of respondents supported using tax dollars to fund indoor recreation.
- 60% of participants were “very supportive” of expanding indoor facilities, including pickleball.
The surge of pickleball in Lisle and across the country has fueled demand for more courts, especially during colder months when outdoor play is limited.
Feasibility Study to Assess Pickleball Demand
To determine the viability of indoor pickleball courts, the park district hired PROS Consulting to conduct the feasibility study. The firm will analyze:
- Past budgets and operational reports from the Lisle Park District.
- Projected population growth and demographic trends over the next decade.
- Market demand for indoor pickleball through community feedback sessions, focus groups, and surveys.
What’s Next for Indoor Pickleball in Lisle?
Once the feasibility study is complete, a separate study will analyze market trends and gather additional community input. This research will help determine if indoor courts will become a reality in Lisle.
