Carson City, NV – The Mills Park pickleball courts project is complete, with six new courts added for a total of fourteen courts open and available to the public.

This approximately $1.1 million project, built by Spanish Springs Construction, was funded by a combination of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), a Community Development Block Grant, Quality of Life Capital, Carson City Capital Improvement Program funds, and support from the Foundation for Carson City Parks and Recreation.

The project scope included the replacement of aging and unusable tennis courts with new post-tension concrete pickleball courts, widened sidewalks, and improved access, increasing opportunities for park users of all ages and abilities. Concrete courts will be more durable, last longer, and require less ongoing maintenance. 

Additional improvements funded and planned at the park in the coming months include new benches, shade, two restroom buildings, park signage, and windscreens around the courts. 

The courts are open to the public free of charge, on a first-come, first-served basis.
