Kids Towne Park Progress: Pickleball Court Dirt Work Improvements

December 5, 2024

Kids Towne Park is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with the construction of new pickleball courts and a restroom pavilion funded by the 2% park improvement initiative. This project promises to provide a state-of-the-art recreational facility for residents, and significant progress has already been made.

Over 7,500 yards of dirt have been delivered to the site—a monumental undertaking requiring more than 500 truckloads. This dirt forms the foundation for the pickleball courts and adjoining restroom pavilion, ensuring the area is equipped to support these highly anticipated amenities for years to come.

Laying the Groundwork

The initial phase of the project focused on groundwork, with crews carefully importing and leveling the soil. This foundation work is critical for creating a stable base that can withstand the constant use and varying weather conditions the park is expected to face. With this step completed, the project is now ready to move forward to the next phase.

What’s Next?

The upcoming steps will turn the prepared land into a fully functioning recreational space. Key elements of this phase include:

Storm Drainage System: Proper drainage will be installed to prevent water from pooling on the courts or around the pavilion, ensuring they remain usable even after heavy rains.

Utility Installation: Essential site utilities like water and electricity will be connected to support the restroom pavilion and court lighting.

Underground Infrastructure: Plumbing and electrical systems will be laid beneath the surface, providing the necessary infrastructure for the restroom and enhancing safety and convenience for users.

Enhancing the Community

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, offering an accessible and engaging activity for people of all ages. These new courts are set to become a hub for recreation and community interaction. The restroom pavilion will further enhance the experience by providing much-needed facilities for visitors.

This project reflects the community’s ongoing commitment to enhancing public spaces and encouraging active lifestyles. The use of 2% park improvement funds demonstrates a smart investment in infrastructure that will benefit residents for generations.

Anticipation Builds

As the project progresses, excitement is growing for the completion of the pickleball courts. Once finished, these courts will serve as a vibrant gathering place for players and spectators alike. Whether for friendly games, tournaments, or simply enjoying time outdoors, the new facilities will offer something for everyone.

Stay tuned for further updates as Kids Towne Park’s latest addition continues to take shape. With the hard work and careful planning underway, the park is poised to become an even more cherished part of the community.
