Clarence Park Adds 6 New Pickleball Courts to Meet Surging Demand

Clarence Park Adds 6 New Pickleball Courts: In response to the rising popularity of pickleball nationwide, Clarence is set to double its pickleball court capacity by adding six new courts at Town Place Park. This expansion aims to meet the growing demand among residents and alleviate overcrowding on the existing courts.

Town Supervisor Patrick Casilio expressed enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing the need to accommodate the increasing number of pickleball enthusiasts. “Our current six pickleball courts were consistently at capacity,” Casilio stated. “By adding six more, we aim to reduce wait times and ensure more residents can enjoy playing without delays.”

Pickleball, a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, has seen a remarkable surge in participation nationwide. In 2023 alone, participation in pickleball across the United States increased by 65% compared to the previous year, highlighting its growing popularity.

The newly constructed courts will be open to Clarence residents on a first-come, first-served basis during regular park hours. This initiative not only aims to cater to the current demand but also to promote physical activity and community engagement through accessible recreational facilities.

Clarence’s investment in pickleball infrastructure underscores its commitment to enhancing quality of life and meeting the recreational needs of its growing community. The addition of these courts at Town Place Park is expected to provide residents with more opportunities to participate in and enjoy the sport of pickleball conveniently and efficiently.
