Our friends over on the BRCAT have completed their new pickleball project.

Go out enjoy all of our parks and recreation opportunities, day and night.

Sunlight is no longer a limiting factor for playing on the new pickleball court. The new led lights are installed and working.

The switch is located on the west light pole.

Please do not forget to turn them off after playing.

Thank you to all who support BRCAT projects like this.

The final touch to the 2026 Ballfield Improvement Project has been completed, the sponsorship sign is installed.

Thank you to all the sponsors for the project. Without your support, projects like this for our youth would not happen.

What’s going on down at the park?

Thanks to Mike Miller and the BRCAT we received a grant to create a stand alone pickleball court.

The new court is scheduled to be finished by July 4. Just in time for the pickleball tournament.
