Pickleball Park in the Terrace View Neighborhood!
September 2026 Update:
In October 2025, the City awarded the bid for Phase One construction of the park to Rogge General Contractors, Inc. Phase One includes off-street parking, multiple utilities (underground), sidewalk/trail, grading/seeding, pickleball courts, and pickleball court lighting. There were a few delays in construction due to weather and availability of some materials, but we have been assured by the contractor that Phase One should be completed by the end of October 2026.
Phase Two has been placed in the City's 2026-2027 Budget Year and may include additional trail connections, parking, playground equipment, and landscaping.
Local Option Sales Tax funds are being utilized for this project.
Press Release: June 27, 2024
City of Hickman, Nebraska
The City of Hickman wants to announce a conceptual park plan in the Terrace View Residential Subdivision at 839 Titan Drive. The concept plan, designed by JEO Consulting Group Inc., was presented by Mr. Eric Casper, Project Manager/Senior Landscape Architect, at the June 25, 2024 Hickman City Council meeting.
The park concept includes:
- Three recreational pickleball courts.
- One recreational tennis court.
- Playground equipment.
- Public restrooms.
- Water fountain.
- Picnic tables with shade shelters.
- Open green space for recreational soccer/flag football fields.
The concept also includes streetside parking, pedestrian trail connections, and park illumination lighting.
In 2018, the developers of Terrace View Subdivision, Baade Property LLC (Alan Badde, Manager), and 301 Investments, LLC (Steve Arens, Manager) entered into a Subdivision Agreement with the City of Hickman. This agreement included the generosity of the developers to deed to the City at least 2.5 acres of contiguous property at no cost. As part of the Development Agreement, permitted uses for the 2.5-acre parcel would be restricted to a city-owned and operated municipal swimming pool facility or park area with recreational equipment. In November of 2020, the voters did not approve a bond issue proposed by the City of Hickman to fund the construction of an aquatics center.
If the City does not build upon the parcel with one of the allowable uses listed above within seven years from the date of acquisition, then, unless otherwise extended in writing by the Subdivider, the 2.5-acre parcel shall be deeded back to Baade Property LLC.
City officials are excited to offer this popular recreational opportunity to their citizens and appreciate your support of the project in our community. City Staff is researching funding resources, grant opportunities, and corporate sponsorships for the park. The availability of funds will determine the timeframe for the construction of this municipal park project.
