The Fruita Community Center officially opened its new outdoor pickleball courts at Orr Park on Tuesday evening. These courts were developed as part of the Parks, Health, Recreation, Open Space master plan, which allowed community members to share their input on recreational needs.
A Community-Driven Project
The addition of pickleball courts reflects the growing demand for the sport in Fruita. Residents had the opportunity to express their interest in new recreational facilities, and the city responded by incorporating the courts into its master plan.
Four Courts for Public Use
The new facility features four courts. Two courts are available for drop-in play, while the other two can be reserved in advance. This setup ensures that casual and competitive players have space to enjoy the game.
Open to All Players
Unlike some private sports facilities, the Fruita pickleball courts are open to the public, requiring no membership fees. Anyone can enjoy the courts, making them an accessible option for players of all skill levels.
