East Palestine Park Pickleball Court Upgrade: A brand-new pickleball court is ready for play at East Palestine City Park in Ohio. Crews have finished work on the park’s updated sports area, which includes new courts for pickleball, tennis, and basketball. The pickleball court will officially open on Friday.
This upgrade is part of a larger project funded by Norfolk Southern, which promised money to help East Palestine recover after last year’s train derailment.
Pickleball Players Can Soon Enjoy New Court
Local players can look forward to using the new pickleball court, which is part of the park’s growing sports section. The court is designed to be safe and modern, encouraging more people to enjoy the fast-growing sport.
Although the court is finished, the rest of the park is still being fixed. Visitors are asked to stay out of blocked-off areas.
“City officials are warning people that the park remains under construction and to stay out of the areas with orange or metal fencing.”
More Improvements Coming Soon
After the courts, the next big project is a new swimming pool. It’s expected to be ready by next summer. The full park renovation shows the city’s goal of creating better places for kids, families, and athletes to gather.
The new pickleball court is a step forward in that plan. The upgrades also help support healthy living and community sports activities in East Palestine.
