The Long Beach Parks Planning Workshop held on June 10, 2026, focused primarily on the design and renovation plans for the town's tennis and pickleball courts, as well as other park amenities such as basketball, bocce, volleyball courts, trails, gardens, and shelters. Key procurement-related discussions included reviewing preliminary design layouts, considering community input on the number and configuration of tennis versus pickleball courts, and addressing concerns about tree removal and park aesthetics. The estimated total project cost was approximately $1.75 million, covering resurfacing, new fencing, lighting, seating, and landscaping, with contingencies and design fees included. The workshop also discussed maintenance considerations, potential grant opportunities for tree planting, and plans for future presentations of 3D renderings to the public. No formal votes were recorded, but there was consensus to proceed with a preferred court layout while continuing to gather community feedback and refine cost estimates.
