Maidu pickleball meeting April 9 in Roseville

The Roseville public is invited to an open meeting April 9 on proposed pickleball renovations to the old batting cages at Maidu Regional Park. The city decommissioned the Maidu batting cages years ago due to the high costs of ongoing maintenance, repair and operations, staff said. Officials hope to take advantage of the existing infrastructure for the popular attraction. Besides utilities, those include off-street parking, restrooms, shaded seating areas and mature trees and landscaping. Lighting will also be included as budget allows, staff said. "Earlier proposals to convert the inoperable batting cages into pickleball courts received mixed feedback from the community," the city announced online. The public meeting will be held Thursday, April 9, at 6 p.m. at the Maidu Community Center. Updated plans will be shared, and the community is encouraged to attend and provide input on the park.
