New Pickleball Courts Coming to Weathersfield Park
Weathersfield Township trustees have announced the start of construction for four new pickleball courts at the local park off Stewart Street.

The addition of these courts has been a long-requested feature for the park.
Details of the Construction
The construction will include the installation of fencing and lighting for the new courts, making them accessible and functional for both day and night use. Trustee Rich Harkins added that rules for the use of the courts will need to be established and clearly posted once the courts are completed.
Impact on the Community
The new pickleball courts will provide local residents with a much-needed recreational facility and expand the park’s offerings.
