Lisle Park District Explores Indoor Pickleball Expansion: Feasibility Study Underway
The Lisle Park District is considering a major expansion of its recreational offerings with the potential addition of indoor pickleball courts. The district has launched an Indoor Recreation Feasibility Study to assess the demand for expanded recreational options, with pickleball emerging as a key focus.
During the 2023 Lisle Park District Master Plan survey, residents expressed strong support for indoor pickleball courts. Survey results showed that 60% of participants were “very supportive” of expanding indoor facilities to include pickleball. This surge in interest is likely fueled by the growing popularity of pickleball in Lisle and across the country, especially during colder months when outdoor play is limited.
To determine the viability of indoor pickleball courts, the park district has hired PROS Consulting to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study. This study will analyze past budgets and operational reports, projected population growth, demographic trends, and market demand for indoor pickleball through community feedback sessions, focus groups, and surveys.
Once the feasibility study is complete, a separate study will analyze market trends and gather additional community input to determine the next steps for indoor pickleball in Lisle. This research will be crucial in determining if indoor courts will become a reality in the near future.
Overall, the potential expansion of indoor pickleball courts in Lisle has garnered significant support from residents and could provide a valuable recreational option for the community. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development in the Lisle Park District’s recreational offerings.
