Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) plans to construct up to 24 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts at the Warren G. Magnuson Park in Sand Point, formerly the site of the Sand Point Naval Air Station. SPR is hoping to break ground in January 2026 and have the courts open by the end of that year. The funding plan allocated $2.1 million for the planning, design, and construction of a dedicated pickleball court facility. This conceptual design imagines multiple outdoor courts, stadium seating, new picnic tables and restroom facilities. GeoTest’s geotechnical department recently completed a geotechnical evaluation for the project site. The resulting geotechnical report is being used in the project’s design and construction phases.
