Pickle ball becoming tennis.

 

Three new tennis coming.

STIMPSON FIELD PARK

Twelve new pickle ball courts have been completed at the Mike Ford Tennis Complex on Morphy Avenue; two new tennis courts are still under construction and a third is still being converted from two existing pickle ball to one tennis court (a net gain of 10 pickle ball and 3 hard-surface tennis).

The project began last October and was expected to be completed by Spring but problems with a subcontractor caused delays, according to recreation department sources.

American Tennis Courts was the low-bidder general contractor at $601K; full completion expected by the end of summer now.

 It is not yet known when the new pickle ball courts will officially-open to the public (stay tuned).

New pickleball courts with lighting is a great addition!

People are fighting to get soft courts (that require court fees), but the mayor doesn’t care. Can’t get any more of those added. The current pickleball courts are empty most of the time, but the mayor pushes and gets 10 new ones built. That collect no court fees, by the way. Brilliant.
