Pickleball Courts at Crestview Park
The Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission was hearing from the community about the need for pickleball opportunities in San Carlos and asked for staff to present options to consider. At the December 2022 Commission meeting, staff presented options to integrate pickleball into existing facilities. One idea was converting the sport court area at Crestview to pickleball courts and the other was the dual lining of the Highlands tennis courts to include pickleball lines. The Commission unanimously recommended both of these improvements.
Work at Crestview Park began the week of October 9, 2023. The project is anticipated to take about 3 weeks to complete. The operations of the sport court area will not change, and kids will continue to be able to bike and scooter around the area.
Installation of New Sports Field Lighting at Flanagan Field & Stadium Field
Design Contract Awarded: August 23, 2021
Design estimated to be completed in Spring 2022
On August 23, City Council approved a contract for design services for the new field lighting at Flanagan Field and Stadium Field. Following the Council action, staff met with the design team from Salas O’Brien to begin planning the design and timeline of the project. It is anticipated that design of the new field lights will take 6-8 months. There will be opportunity for community input at a public meeting during the design process.
On Monday, September 20th, Geotech engineers were onsite at both fields to perform soils investigations. Information gathered from these investigations will provide engineers with information to determine what foundations for the light poles to use during construction.

LED Sports Field Lighting Design - Burton & Highlands Parks
City Council approved a project to convert existing sports field lighting to LED lighting as well as add new night lighting to Flannagan Field (Burton Park) and Stadium Field (Highlands Park). Through two phases, the lighting project was completed in 2022. New lighting technology reduces light glare and spillover, resulting in less impact to adjacent neighbors.
