Newcastle plans four new pickleball courts at Baker Park
Summary
Park board members told the council they will expand the existing facility with four additional courts; site work will begin this fall and courts are expected to be playable next spring.
A parks presenter told the council the park board approved a plan to expand pickleball facilities at Baker Park, adding four courts and widening the complex to create a 'championship side.' “We're gonna be breaking ground to build 4 more courts,” the presenter said, describing fall concrete work and spring installation of nets and fencing.
The presenter said the project fits within the parks budget for next year and expects work to begin this fall with concrete poured and allowed to cure over winter. Council members praised the parks department and noted strong community usage of courts, the skate park and other amenities. There was no formal vote required during this meeting; the plan was reported as included in the upcoming budget cycle.
