Peachtree City breaks ground on 18-court pickleball complex at Mead Fields; council cites SPLOST funding and recreation plan
Summary
Peachtree City marked the groundbreaking for an 18-court pickleball complex at Mead Fields following a unanimous council decision. Officials said the project was included on the voter-approved 2023 SPLOST and aligned with a recreation master plan adopted in January 2025; construction is expected to begin within days and play by March 2026.
Peachtree City officials turned the dirt on construction of 18 new pickleball courts at Mead Fields after what the speaker described as a unanimous city council decision. The official said construction would begin in the next few days and that play should be possible by March 2026.
The speaker described the project as long-awaited by local players and noted it had been included as a line item on the 2023 SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax), which voters approved in March 2023. The project also aligns with a recreation master plan the speaker said the city adopted unanimously in January 2025.
The remarks stated the city found the site, awarded the construction contract and was preparing to begin work; the transcript excerpt did not include the contract award language such as bidder name, contract value, or a formal roll-call vote record. The speaker thanked residents who advocated for the courts and noted the project's expected completion date of March 2026.
Details not specified in the transcript include the contract award amount, the contractor name, and a recorded vote tally in the meeting remarks. Those items should appear in formal minutes or contract documents.
