In July 2022, Clinton residents approved a 2% increase in the restaurant tax to fund enhancements to city parks and community spaces. Since then, Parks and Recreation Director Courtney Nunn has gathered feedback from local organizations and residents to guide priority improvements. At a recent September Board Meeting, the Board of Aldermen accepted the top bid for phase one of these projects, funded by the tax revenue.

Phase one will bring exciting upgrades, including a new pickleball court, concessions, restrooms, and a pavilion at Kids Towne Park; renovated restrooms at Traceway Park’s baseball field 10 and softball fields 5 and 6; and updated, inclusive playground equipment at Brighton Park. As additional funding becomes available, future improvements will address other priority projects, including a complete remodel of the Traceway softball fourplex and added restrooms and concessions at soccer field 5.

The pickleball courts at Kids Towne Park are currently undergoing extensive renovations, bringing in new amenities that will enhance the experience for players and provide welcoming spaces for families and visitors to both Kids Towne Park and The Bark Park. These updates aim to encourage active lifestyles and foster community engagement in the increasingly popular sport of pickleball.

We look forward to seeing this project come to life and to welcoming everyone back to the newly upgraded pickleball courts. Keep an eye out for renovation updates and details about the grand reopening celebration!
