The shovels are in the ground and construction has officially kicked off for the new Cameron Brown Pickleball Expansion project in Germantown. The city's initiative aims to swiftly move to enhance recreational opportunities and promote community wellness for its residents.
As the project gets under way, temporary fencing has now been put up around the construction area, a small inconvenience necessary to safely move to complete the much-anticipated expansion. Germantown officials have advised athletes and enthusiasts that access to the courts from the Bob Hailey Athletic Complex will be blocked for the duration. The recommended detour is using the entrance directly from Cameron Brown Park.
This substantial investment, clocking in at $602,403.95, was greenlit by the Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen. It encompasses the addition of two state-of-the-art post-tension concrete pickleball courts, that are planned to serve the high demand and shorten the long queues. A permanent restroom facility and key ADA accessibility improvements are also part of the package.
The enhancements are a direct response to the objectives listed in the Germantown Parks and Recreation Master Plan, as well as findings from the Active Aging Needs Assessment. This project is set to broadly increase accessibility and amenities for citizens across all ages and capabilities, a fact that underscores Germantown's dedication to its diverse community.
Details regarding the project's progress will be regularly updated for public consumption. For further inquiries about the ongoing work or how it might impact day-to-day park use, concerned parties should reach out to the Parks and Recreation office at 901-757-7375, as officially communicated by the city. More information about the expansion can be found on the Germantown municipal website.
