A note from the Village of Plover regarding parking at the pickleball courts this weekend.

Due to set up for Celebrate Plover the paved parking area between the Bandshell and the Pickleball Courts starting Thursday morning until sometime Sunday morning. All parking will be in the event parking areas south of the Pickleball courts in the field area. I do realize it is somewhat inconvenient, but we will have several items and deliveries in the area Thursday and will require the area to be free of cars so we can complete set up and deliveries. Also, the Pickleball court lights will be shutoff around 9pm Saturday night for the Fireworks.
