Johnson Lake Pickleball Courts Update
The construction of the pickleball courts is underway. The courts have been poured, and the fencing is up! Court lines are expected to be painted and benches installed by the end of the month.
We’re getting closer to having a fantastic new place for friends, families, and visitors to gather, get active, and enjoy some friendly competition!
What’s left to finish? Permanent court surfacing, landscaping, and a few final touches to make this project complete.
We’re so grateful to everyone who has helped bring this project to life! With Give Big here, we’re asking for your continued support to help us cross the finish line.
Completion of the project set for Spring 2027.
