City To Break Ground On Regional Pickleball Complex
New Courts Expected To Open In Early 2027
Las Vegas City Councilwomen Francis Allen-Palenske will be joined by Nevada Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony to officially break grown on a new regional pickleball complex that will be the largest in the city of Las Vegas. The event is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 8, at Wayne Bunker Park, 7351 W. Alexander Road.
This project includes 24 pickleball courts with lighting and fencing and is scheduled to be completed in early 2027. It is located on an undeveloped portion of the southwest corner of Bunker Park and will also include shade structures, seating, lighted pathways, parking, landscaping and vehicle access from Alexander.
Pickleball is among the fastest-growing sports and when this complex opens it will bring the city to 59 public pickleball courts.
The project cost is a little over $12 million and is federally funded through the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA). SNPLMA funds are available to government agencies for parks and recreation projects from the proceeds of regional federal land sales.
The contractor for the project is APCO Construction, and the city of Las Vegas is the construction manager.
In addition, on Tuesday, Jan. 6, at 11 a.m. the city will officially open four new pickleball courts at Lorenzi Park, 3333 W. Washington Ave. Ward 5 Councilwoman Shondra Summers-Armstrong will cut the ribbon on these new courts bringing the current total number of city of Las Vegas courts to 35.
The Lorenzi courts were constructed by JNJ Engineering and cost $800,000.
