Lake View Foundation

WE PROPOSE TO CONSTRUCT TWO NEW PICKLEBALL COURTS ON A PARCEL OF CITY-OWNED LAND ON MCCLURE STREET IN LAKE VIEW, IA. WE HAVE BETWEEN 20-25 WOMEN FROM LAKE VIEW THAT PLAY TWICE A WEEK ON TWO COURTS IN A NEIGHBORING TOWN, OFTEN MAKING IT NECESSARY FOR SEVERAL TO SIT OUT. THERE ARE OTHER LEAGUES THAT USE THOSE SAME COURTS ON ALTERNATE DAYS AND AN EVENING COUPLES LEAGUE. MANY OF THOSE PLAYERS COME FROM OUR COMMUNITY, BUT HAVE TO TRAVEL TO PLAY BECAUSE WE HAVE NO OUTSIDE COURTS IN LAKE VIEW; AND OUR MAKESHIFT COURT ON THE TOP FLOOR OF CITY HALL IS ONLY AVAILABLE DURING BUSINESS HOURS. BOTH OUR LOCAL SCHOOL AND CAMPGROUND HAVE ALSO REQUESTED THAT COURTS BE ADDED TO THE MANY AMENITIES OUR CITY OFFERS. THESE TWO NEW COURTS WILL OFFER A GOOD OPTION FOR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND THOSE THAT COME TO VISIT, WHICH HELPS US WITH TOURISM AS WELL.
