Upcoming construction planned for the pickle ball courts!

Construction will begin next week on the replacement of the pickleball courts at Cook Park. Rochester Sand and Gravel will start with demolition and removals of the existing courts and excavation of the subgrade. The new courts will be poured-in-place concrete over a solid base and new drainage system. The design also creates better circulation within the courts to minimize interruption of play by those entering and leaving the courts. Excited to see the new space!

Really excited to see this from OC SWCD. It’s a great way to get started with native plants. There’s a link at the top of the first page that sales you to the lists of what’s in each plant kit.

Timmer and his team will be providing live updates across their social media channels - hopefully, there isn't much to report on, but the NWS says it could be a very rough afternoon and evening.
