Sweeping away pooled water extends court’s lifespan 5-10 years.

Also, water on a tennis or pickleball court significantly reduces the coefficient of friction between players' shoes and the surface. Dry acrylic or asphalt courts typically have a static friction coefficient of around 0.5–0.8, allowing for quick stops, pivots, and directional changes. When wet, this can drop to 0.2–0.4 due to the formation of a thin water film that acts as a lubricant, leading to hydroplaning-like effects. This increases the risk of slips, falls, and injuries such as sprained ankles or ACL tears, as the shear forces required for athletic movements exceed the available traction.

Although it took longer than expected and a bit more in materials, we have completed our first recreation project. Thank you to all of our donors; so far this year we have raised over $6800! Another thank you to our volunteers, who have given 99 hours of their time to the West Pickleball Court of Mays Park.

As a community we can accomplish a lot; especially when working together to make Grandfield a beautiful and healthy place to live.

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Paddle.
Paddle who?
Paddle your way to Mays Park—where the newly spruced-up sign guards a pickleball paradise, reborn from decades of dust, open all hours except when school’s in session.

Big morning on the courts! 🏓 Just finished the first coat of blue on the 880 ft² pickleball court—another coat to go. After that, we’ll hit the 1,928 ft² tennis court with green paint. Then it’s lines and nets, and we’re game-ready! 🎾

Today we applied 30 gallons of acrylic resurfacer (needed 50).

Filled in the voids and fine cracks!
