Disney funds new parks and pickleball court in Anaheim
Disney partners with the city and KaBoom to build playgrounds at Imperial, Willow, Julianna, Pearson and Barton parks funded entirely by donations from Disney. Anaheim celebrates a Twila Reid Park upgrade with a pickleball court, renovated softball and new soccer field funded by a $200,000 Disneyland Resort donation. Coach Phil Dunmeyer explains pickleball, a sport blending tennis, ping pong and badminton, played on a triple‑space court on a concrete pad. Disneyland Resort also contributed $150,000 each for skate parks at Schweitzer and Palm Lane parks opened this summer, with no city funding required.

West Anaheim redevelop plan eyed after long wait
Councilwoman Kris Murray says the west side will get the next redevelopment push after previously renovating the Packing District and resort area. Residents worry the land may be undersold and flipped to higher bidders. The site, once orange groves, a sand and gravel pit, a county landfill, and later a mobile home park, has been vacant since 1985 and bought by the city in 2001 for Zelman ongoing rehab talks. Mayor Tom Tait envisions energy and sidewalk cafes to attract gatherings.
