Pickleball at GRP

As of January 18, 2023, the pickleball courts at George Rogers Park are closed, effective immediately and indefinitely, in accordance with the Lake Oswego Park Rules, Section VII(2)(a)(iii) as directed by City Council.

On January 17, 2023, City Council directed the Parks and Recreation Department to begin the conversion of the Westlake Park tennis courts into pickleball courts and convert the George Rogers Park pickleball courts into tennis courts. Parks and Recreation will undergo community engagement and exploration regarding noise, parking, traffic, and rehabilitation costs, along with working with the City’s planning department to amend existing conditional use permits and approvals for both properties. 

It is premature at this stage to know whether or not the conversion will be approvable and, if so, under what terms. Parks and Recreation is hopeful that the site will be suitable for pickleball.
