New Pickleball Courts in Clarksburg: The Veterans Memorial Park in Clarksburg is nearing the final stages of completing an ambitious project: the construction of a brand-new pickleball facility adjacent to the popular River Bend miniature golf course. Initiated with a groundbreaking ceremony in March, the project has faced its share of challenges, including delays due to inclement weather and logistical hurdles. However, progress has been steady, and the community is eagerly anticipating the facility’s completion.
Funded by a substantial grant of nearly half a million dollars, the development includes nine permanent concrete pickleball courts and one adjustable court, designed to cater to the diverse needs of players of all skill levels. These courts are set to become a focal point for sports enthusiasts and recreational players alike, offering a dedicated space for the rapidly growing sport of pickleball in Clarksburg.
Doug Comer, Director of Clarksburg Parks and Recreation, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its significance for the local community.

The construction process, while challenging at times, reflects Clarksburg’s commitment to promoting active lifestyles and providing accessible recreational opportunities. The decision to establish these pickleball courts shows the city’s proactive approach to meeting the needs of its growing population and supporting healthy living initiatives.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is slated for mid-August, marking the official unveiling of the new pickleball courts. The event promises to be a celebration of community spirit and dedication to enhancing recreational amenities in Clarksburg.
As the project nears completion, anticipation is building among residents, pickleball enthusiasts, and local officials alike. The addition of these modern courts is not only expected to boost participation in pickleball but also to contribute positively to the overall well-being and vibrancy of Clarksburg’s recreational landscape.
