City Council Meeting - May 12, 2026
The city closed the Camino Real tennis courts indefinitely after inspectors found safety issues, and a large crowd of players demanded a rebuild timeline, budget funding (an estimated $1 million plus $300,000 for fencing and lighting), and designated tennis hours at alternative courts. The city says it's hiring a designer and has parks mitigation funds.
