City Asking For Racket Courts Input From The Public

Lincoln, NE (April 19, 2022) The Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department invites the public to complete a survey regarding racket courts in public parks. The survey is available through May 8 on parks.lincoln.ne.gov. Printed copies are available at the Parks and Recreation offices, 3131 “O” St., all city recreation centers, or by calling 402-441-7847.

The survey seeks input from racket sports participants about the location, frequency, and type of racket sports being played. Information gathered will be used to formulate a Racket Court Master Plan to help guide future improvements and expansion of racket courts in the city.
