Yesterday, there was a gathering of local Parks and Recreation Department leaders to discuss upcoming plans to build more outdoor pickleball courts in various communities around the Dane County area. Here is what I can report:
- In Middleton, at Lakeview Park, the existing 12 tennis courts will be removed and replaced with 2 new tennis courts and 6 dedicated pickleball courts. The expected opening date for the new courts will be October 2025.
- In Waunakee, 4 new dedicated pickleball courts will be constructed in Heritage Hills during Summer 2025. In addition, 2 new dedicated pickleball courts will be constructed in Kilkenny Farms West during Spring 2025.
- In Columbus, 4 new dedicated outdoor pickleball courts will be built in Fireman’s Park, but construction and anticipated opening dates are currently TBD.
I can’t wait to try out all these new courts once they open!
