New Pickleball Courts Open in Weston: On Friday afternoon, the community gathered for a festive ribbon-cutting ceremony that marked the official opening of new pickleball courts at Bisceglie-Scribner Park. Though the courts had welcomed eager players for a few weeks before the event, this ceremony officially indicated their arrival as an addition to Weston’s recreational offerings.
Community-Driven Project
The construction of these three courts, strategically located just a short walk from the parking lot along the picturesque path leading to the pond, was made possible in part through Weston’s allocation from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This funding not only reflects the community’s commitment to enhancing recreational facilities but also shows the growing popularity of pickleball within the area.
Parks and Recreation Director Dave Ungar, a key advocate for this project, noted that he had been overwhelmed with requests for pickleball courts since the sport surged in popularity.
A Collaborative Effort
The ceremony featured several notable figures, including First Selectwoman Samantha Nestor, who cut the ribbon to officially open the courts. She was joined by Mr. Dave Ungar, Program Director Joe Parciasepe, State Senator Ceci Maher, State Representative Anne Hughes, and members of the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Their presence at the event highlighted the collaborative effort that brought the project to fruition, showing a united commitment to enhancing community recreational opportunities.
As soon as the ribbon was cut, players flocked to the newly opened pickleball courts, eager to experience the thrill of pickleball. With the game gaining momentum nationwide, Weston’s addition of these courts positions the community as a vibrant hub for pickleball players.
