Horsham Council Approves New Pickleball Courts: Horsham Township’s pickleball enthusiasts have reason to celebrate. On July 11, the Township Council granted preliminary final approval for a new indoor pickleball facility. Located at 1250 Easton Road, the facility will feature five dedicated courts. This development reflects the growing demand for pickleball in the area, with the new venue situated conveniently next to Dunkin’ Donuts, across from the former U.S. Navy base on Route 611.
Facility Features and Operations
The facility aims to cater to a broad audience, offering scheduled court time, social events like birthday parties, and lessons. The proposed setup includes a staggered playing schedule, a small office, and potentially two employees.
The business model is described as “software-driven,” designed to streamline operations and enhance user experience. The owner highlighted that the building will have a capacity of 22 people, including all players and staff, with the staggered schedule ensuring that the facility is not overcrowded.
Accessibility and Community Impact
One notable feature of the new facility is the inclusion of mobile nets, which will allow wheelchair accessibility, ensuring inclusivity for all players. This move aligns with the township’s commitment to providing accessible sports facilities.
Additional Court Developments
In addition to the new indoor pickleball facility, the council awarded a bid for the construction of four more outdoor pickleball courts behind the Community Center in the Horsham Township Municipal Complex. The contract, valued at $147,375, was awarded to Cousins Inc. of North Wales. The existing eight outdoor courts are already a hotspot, often filled with players, indicating a high demand for additional court space.
