Pickleball in Franklin Park

The Pickleball Courts at Blueberry Hill Park are now open for play and the courts at Old Orchard Park are scheduled to open on April 1. When using all courts, please exercise caution if they are wet, especially in the mornings, because there could be slippery conditions.

There currently is construction occurring at the Pickleball Courts at Blueberry Hill Park, so players should be cautious in the area.
