The sports court improvements will include:

• New asphalt surfacing
• Installation of new tennis posts, nets, and anchor straps
• Striping for pickleball on either side of each tennis net
• Addition of benches, waste receptacles, and drinking water fountains
• Enhanced walkways for improved court accessibility.
• Replacement of fencing  

The bond-funded sport court improvements were combined into a single project with a total budget of $4,329,000. This budget covers the design and construction to rehabilitate or replace courts at five parks.

This includes tennis and pickleball courts at Highland and River Road parks, as well as multi-use athletic courts at Hoover, Morningside, and Sumpter parks.

The contractor will work Monday – Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning August 12, 2024. All construction activities are weather-dependent. 

River Road Park will remain open. Parking may be limited. Access to areas within the construction zone will be restricted while work is ongoing.

Highland Park's (2025 Broadway St NE, Salem, OR 97301) sports courts are available to those looking for tennis or pickleball courts.
