OBJECTIVE: To provide the financial support necessary to undertake court resurfacing, windscreen, and site
staging & preparation projects related to the U.S. Open Pickleball Championship.
CONSIDERATION: East Naples Community Park (ENCP) has been transformed over the years to provide
support for the Minto U.S. Open Pickleball Championship. This tournament draws thousands of visitors and
participants each April for what is considered a world -class event for the best pickleball players in the sport. In
2022 the U.S. Open was televised on CBS Sports and provided viewers across the world with information on the
Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades Paradise Coast. As a premier facility ENCP has sixty-four (64) courts and a
welcome center, which constitutes one of the largest pickleball facilities of its kind in the United States.
According to Spirit Promotions, LLC, the 2022 U.S. Open Pickleball Championship hosted 2,800 participants with
an additional 35,000 spectators over the course of the eight -day event. The 2022 U.S. Open Pickleball
Championship resulted in direct visitor spending of approximately $7,144,210 within Collier County.
