Court Resurfacing & Improvements Project

Construction Phase 2 Tennis Center: All courts open for play, including the practice courts.

Construction Phase 3: Coronado Library: The City contractor is currently working on resurfacing Courts 1 and 2 at the Library. The work is scheduled to be completed by Friday, August 4. The courts will be locked over the weekend to allow for curing of the material. Both courts will be open for play on Monday, August 7.

During the surface preparation, it was discovered that Courts 1. 2, and 8 at the Tennis Center have several pockets beneath the surface. To minimize the probability of future cracking and bubbling, additional work to grind the courts to bare concrete was authorized. The Contractor completed patching the divets and cracks after removing the old surface materials.

The City appreciates the tennis community’s patience and understanding over the noise and dust created during this phase. The contractor is currently (week of July 24) applying the resurface layers and plans to finish them by the end of next week. Once the surfaces have cured over the weekend, assuming all goes well, those courts will be available for play on Thursday, July 27.

During the surface preparation, it was discovered that Courts 1. 2, and 8 at the Tennis Center have several pockets beneath the surface. To minimize the probability of future cracking and bubbling, additional work to grind the courts to bare concrete has been authorized. The City contractor plans to provide an updated schedule once they can visually see the concrete surface condition to determine the degree of patching required. It is anticipated this grinding phase will run through July 14. A drain test, patching the divets and cracks and then applying the resurface layers will follow.

Courts 1,2 and 8 in progress. Junior tennis court line striping on courts 5, 6, 7 will occur once these courts are complete.

On Monday, June 19, courts 5, 6, and 7 at the Tennis Center opened. Courts 4, 5 and the Practice Court are in progress, followed by Phase 3, courts 1, 2 and 8.

The City officially celebrated the completion of Phase One of the Tennis and Pickleball Court Resurfacing Project at Cays Park on June 5. The City project includes the resurfacing and restriping of tennis and pickleball courts at City facilities.

The project began well ahead of the construction start in April 2023 with months of engagement, a community survey, and meetings with the Coronado Tennis Association and Pickleball Coronado Association to understand the community's needs. The first phase began at Cays Park. To create more playing areas for the growing number of pickleball users, crews converted two existing tennis courts in Cays Park into dedicated pickleball courts, creating eight new pickleball courts. The first public pickleball courts in the city of Coronado.

The tennis and pickleball courts at Cays Park have been renumbered. The new system is in place now.

The City contractor began work April 17 on Phase 1 at Cays Park Court 5 and the basketball court. Footing excavation caused a few days of delay to rework the footing sizes and locations. On May 15 (2023), the basketball court and pickleball court 5 opened.

The City contractor began work April 17 on Phase 1 at Cays Park Court 5 and the basketball court. During the footing excavation, the contractor found that the tennis court is made of post tensioned concrete. What this means is that in order to install the footings properly, the existing post tensioned cables within the concrete slab must be avoided. This caused a few days of delay to rework the footing sizes and locations.

Work completed to date:

• Pickleball net posts have been installed.
• Pickleball barrier fence posts have been dug. Concrete footings will be poured after a City inspection.
• Basketball court joints, primer, and green color coat have been completed.

Upcoming activities this week:

• Installation of pickleball fence and gates.
• Resurfacing and striping of pickleball court 5.
• Paint final blue color coat at free throw lane and circles on basketball court, followed by white striping.

Opening dates will be provided once the surfaces have cured.
