Pickleball Courts Opening in Lewis County: Pickleball players in Lewis County will soon have even more space to play, as the park is adding four new pickleball courts in time for the summer season. The expansion reflects the sport’s rapid growth in the area and aims to meet the increasing demand for dedicated playing space.
New Pickleball Courts to Open by July
Lewis County Parks and Recreation Director Josh Hinchman confirmed that four additional pickleball courts are under construction and are scheduled to open by July.
The new courts will complement the existing pickleball facilities, providing more room for local players to compete, practice, and enjoy the sport. With pickleball’s rising popularity, the expansion is expected to increase participation and allow for more organized events and open play opportunities.
Pickleball Remains a Year-Round Activity
While the new courts won’t be available until mid-summer, Lewis County Park’s existing pickleball courts remain open for public use.
The courts have been a gathering place for casual and competitive players, and the additional courts will further establish the park as a local hub for pickleball enthusiasts.
Community Impact and Future Plans
The addition of more pickleball courts is part of a broader effort to enhance recreation at Lewis County Park. Alongside the pickleball expansion, the park is introducing a SplashPad, an 18-hole mini-golf course, and a ropes course.
As pickleball continues to gain momentum, the possibility of hosting tournaments, leagues, and instructional programs at the park may grow with the expanded facilities.
Seasonal Hiring to Support Expansion
