Pickleball anyone? Pickleball courts are officially open! There continues to be a cleanup of the rest of the park after Hurricane Milton but people are enjoying the beautiful courts.

The new pickleball courts, fences, and lighting are complete. Shade structures are 90% done, and sidewalks are 95% finished with a few sections remaining. The new courts will open after the final inspection, hopefully in mid-October.
