Tennis & Pickleball Center Court Replacement Project
What is the Tennis & Pickleball Center Court Replacement Project?
The court replacement project at the Incline Village Tennis & Pickleball Center will improve the safety and playability of the tennis courts at the facility.
The Tennis Center has been a valued part of the District’s Capital Infrastructure since its construction in 1979. In 2016, Lloyd Engineering completed a Facility Assessment and Master Plan, which highlighted the aging condition of Courts 1-7, then 35 years old. The 2016 Master Plan identified several issues, including asphalt courts with acrylic surfacing, inadequate site drainage relying solely on infiltration, and the need for ongoing repair and resurfacing. Recommendations included upgrading drainage and BMPs to meet TRPA standards and reconstructing Courts 1-7 within 5-7 years, a timeline spanning 2021-2023.
In August 2023, Engineering Staff partnered with Black Eagle Consulting, a local expert in asphalt and geotechnical analysis, to assess the courts’ current conditions. Their findings revealed full-depth cracking, differential movement, low areas with ponding, and tree root intrusion, confirming the courts are failing and require replacement as outlined in the 2016 Master Plan.
Additionally, the project area, including the courts and parking lots, is not BMP certified by TRPA, and certification must be completed within 3-5 years to address all impervious areas.
Where is the project at in the planning/design/construction process?
Looking ahead, the District is budgeting based on real numbers from recent 2023 court reconstruction projects within the basin. The plan includes designing, constructing, and certifying all BMPs within the project area to meet TRPA standards within the next 3-5 years.
In July 2025, this project was displayed at the IVGID Community Open House. If you didn’t make it to the Open House event but still want to provide feedback on this or other major projects, click here for our feedback form.
