The Blair Rec Commission has announced plans for improvements to Garfield Park. Construction will begin in Spring 2025. They plan to re-pave the path to the courts and pave a new path around the courts and out to the large parking lot. Additionally, a small playground will be installed near the gazebo and six metal poles will be added for LED court lights. Nighttime pickleball is coming to Altoona!
The painting project at Hamilton Park (Cherry Ave Courts) is completed! Four beautiful courts are now ready for play. Thanks to all the volunteers working on this project, extremely well done! See pics below.
Three new courts are available for play at Duncansville Memorial Park (Sunbrook Manor). Sign up sheets are available on PickleballDen for morning reservations on two courts. The courts are open to the public at all other times from morning till dusk. Improvements to the fencing have been made for increased playability. Plans are being made for further development of the courts.
Two courts at Memorial Park in Frankstown Township (Hollidaysburg) are paved but still require a significant amount of work. Do not expect the courts to be ready for play this fall.
