Eight Dedicated Pickleball Courts Planned for Western Regional Park - Several of our members came out for the breaking ground ceremony for the 8 new dedicated pickleball courts scheduled for construction adjacent to the tennis courts at Howard County Western Regional Park.  Our president, Joanne Griesser, was one of the presenters.  Several of our members showed up in their association shirts and/or carrying paddles to show their support. After the presentation and the pictures, our members got to ask questions of the Howard Co. Recreation and Parks (HCR&P) leaders to find out more details about the plans.  We heard that these courts will take priority in construction over the six courts scheduled for Blandair Park which will be constructed late 2023 or early 2024. We also learned that construction should start soon with a goal to have the asphalt platform in place and possibly painted by the end of October, weather permitting. The nets will be scheduled to be installed Spring of 2023. If the courts can be partially constructed, the public may be able to play on them with their own nets.  Thanks to all our members for attending and showing our enthusiasm for the sport and excitement for the new facility! Thanks also for Joanne for her leadership and direct involvement with the HCR&P organization and Calvin Ball, our county executive!

The following article provides pictures, a video of the presentation and a description of the plans.
