About the Project

The Vallejo Mill Historical Park Pickleball and Dog Park Project addresses the community’s expressed interests with the addition of new pickleball facilities and dog park in a natural setting nestled among existing trees. 

The 32,000 square foot dog park will include separated small and large dog areas with bark mulch surfacing, a four-foot height fencing enclosure, seating, drinking fountain, and park user and maintenance access gates. 

The pickleball facilities will include four new pickleball courts, a four-foot tall perimeter fence, benches, waiting area, and drinking fountain. The existing park driveway and entrance will be maintained at the same location and will terminate at a new vehicle roundabout that meets emergency vehicle requirements. New parking will include ADA accessible stalls. Proposed lighting may be removed due to budget constraints, but the infrastructure for future court and area lighting has been included in anticipation of future funding for the lighting and proposed vault toilet restroom. 

Additional park improvements include perimeter fencing and gates to discourage vehicular access into the natural areas of the park. Other plan improvements include ADA-compliant walkways, trash and recycling receptacles, tree planting, irrigation, and park rules signage.

Timeline

The original project timeline has been revised to allow for an expanded environmental review process. Construction for this project is now scheduled to begin in January 2025, with a projected completion by late Summer 2025, barring unforeseen conditions and weather delays.
