Hello, Davis Lane Community!

What a sunny day this Saturday has turned into, May 4, 2024!  It’s great to see people cruising around the park, playing on the courts, and giggling on the playground.

Unfortunately, the City of Arvada has plans to also deduct about 2% from your home value by removing and not replacing the courts in Davis Lane park.  That’s according to a study done in San Antonio, linked here: https://headwaterseconomics.org/trail/23-impacts-trails-greenbelts-home-price/

So, if you live in walking distance of the courts, know that if the park remains without courts you will be taking that financial hit on top of the general drop in quality of life for you, your family, and our community. Not to mention the seven months of no access to the park during construction.

Please let the city know you want the parks back by taking their survey here: https://speakup.arvadaco.gov/g2157

Question 3 is confusing.  For those supporting courts, I suggest scrolling down to the text saying “Other”, write in the box “tennis/pickleball courts”, click “Add Other”, then add anything else if you like and hit Confirm Priorities when done.  

We’re now up to 237 people who have signed the online petition to save the courts! If you’ve not signed the petition yet, you can do so here: https://www.change.org/Save_Davis_Lane_Park

Please be at the City Council meeting on Monday, May 6th, at 5:50 pm in green and blue to support the effort to save our courts.  The entrance is on the upper level near the city courts entrance. 

This meeting is shaping up to be critical to keeping at least one court available while we figure out how to restore the full court area. Let’s Save Our Court!
