Pickleball Courts at McNeely Lake Park

McNeelyPB

Metro Parks has finished the installation of 2 pickleball courts at McNeely Lake Park.  The pickleball courts are located next to the tennis and basketball courts near the Price Lane Road entrance. 

As pickleball remains the fastest growing sport in America, I'm excited to have worked with Metro Parks on the completion of this $90,000 addition to District 23.  Stop by and check them out!
