Concerns About the Court

Update to 3/9/23 Community Input Call regarding Proposed Volleyball Court:
​
One of the concerns expressed during the Community Input Call was the level of noise that may come from evening volleyball games into the homes closest to the proposed court location. In pursuit of evaluating this concern, D14 Park Board Member Rudy Karimi and FOTP volunteers attempted a volleyball game in the evening on the proposed site. Please review the attached video to see method and outcome.
Let us know if you have questions after reviewing.

Survey Responses

...as of 6/22/2023

A court could cost over $40-45,000 for engineering, construction, and materials.  The project was deemed eligible to get half its funding from the city’s Matching Fund program if private funds raise half of the estimated total cost.  We are roughly targeting a fund raise of $25,000.   Please fill out the survey so we can show City Hall that Dallas and Lakewood welcomes volleyball to Tietze Park!

Of the $25,000 to be raised:
  • $10,000 will be provided by the Friends of Tietze Park
  • $15,000 will need to be provided by Private Donors
