“We are excited about this project as we know how much our community LOVES Pickleball!!” officials said.
Now, they say it is time to give the community more options to play through new courts. The first step is demolition.

Upon completion of the project, which is forecasted to be completed sometime by mid-August, there will be six new courts that officials say are the largest courts of the city.
