Roeding Park Pickleball Courts Expansion: The City of Fresno held a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday to begin construction of new pickleball courts and two multi-use courts at Roeding Park. Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer and City Councilman Miguel Arias led the event, celebrating a project that will expand athletic opportunities for residents of all ages.
Expanding Sports Options
The new courts will be built near the existing tennis courts close to Olive Avenue. The project will turn some of the current tennis space into areas for pickleball, basketball, and futsal. City leaders said the goal is to create more places for the community to stay active and enjoy different sports.
A Community Milestone
“This milestone marks a significant step in expanding athletic opportunities for all Fresno residents by transforming existing tennis courts into new spaces that welcome pickleball, basketball, and futsal players,”
officials said during the ceremony. The plan aims to meet growing demand for pickleball while keeping the park useful for other activities.
