King Edward Park Pickleball Closure: The pickleball courts at King Edward Park in Brighton will be closed on Saturday, July 26, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Municipality of Brighton announced the closure due to an adult baseball tournament taking place on Diamonds A and B. The temporary shutdown is being done to keep players safe from stray baseballs.
Safety Concerns Prompt Closure
The decision to close the courts was made because baseballs from the nearby diamonds could fly into the pickleball area during games. This creates a safety risk for people using the courts. To prevent any injuries, the Municipality of Brighton decided to shut down the courts just for the day.
Closure Details and Timing
The closure will begin early Saturday morning at 7 a.m. and continue until 6 p.m. that evening. Games on Diamonds A and B are expected to take place throughout the day. While only temporary, the closure is meant to ensure that everyone stays safe while the baseball tournament is underway.
What Officials Say
Municipal staff shared that the closure is necessary to protect the public. They said, “For safety reasons, the courts will be temporarily closed as baseballs could enter the court area during games.”
What This Means for Pickleball Players
Pickleball players who usually use the courts on Saturday will need to make other plans for that day. The courts are expected to reopen as usual once the baseball tournament ends. The Municipality of Brighton did not announce any further changes or future closures.
