Pickelball Construction is Underway

July 8, 2024

Construction crews have cleared the way for the new pickleball courts by removing the fence around the perimeter of the pickleball area and will level the surrounding area. Once the framing is set, the pickleball courts will be constructed so they can easily be converted back to a tennis court to accommodate private tennis lessons and group classes.
