The Town Council has authorized the purchase of one pickleball net. Additional equipment such as balls, racquets and a second net will need to be purchased for general use. We have a fundraising goal of $1,000 which we secure by a silent auction and donations. For now, players will need to supply other equipment and blue painter’s tape for temporary lines.
