The Lee Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to award a contract to expand the facilities of Rutenberg Park, 6500 South Pointe Blvd., to include eight lighted pickleball courts, a shade structure and more.
The $3.2 million contract with Stultz Inc. includes:
- Eight lighted pickleball courts, four of which will be covered
- Shade structure
- ADA-compliant restrooms
- An office building
- Parking lot improvements

This project will be funded through Community Park Impact Fees. The construction project is expected to take about nine months to complete.
