UMATILLA — The city of Umatilla will hold three open houses between November and February to get public input on two community projects. The open house meetings will focus on the renaming of McNary Tennis Court Park and a future recreation and wellness facility. The meetings are Nov. 18, Dec. 16 and Jan. 13 at the Umatilla Business Center, 820 Sixth St. Each meeting is 6-7 p.m. During the discussion of the recreation and wellness facility, attendees will have the opportunity to share ideas for indoor recreational activities, fitness and wellness programs, youth and senior activities and other amenities that would benefit the community. The city also will seek residents’ input on ideas for renaming McNary Tennis Court Park. In October, the city announced it had received a $30,000 grant from the Wildhorse Foundation to convert the aging tennis courts into pickleball courts.
