GARFIELD COURTS UPDATE!
The Blair County Pickleball Club is updating our Garfield Courts complex with some exciting improvements scheduled to begin in the next several weeks. You have asked for them and we are responding.
1. The locks on the main gates will be upgraded to a more substantive and affixed piece of hardware with larger and more visual buttons. It will remain a combination type.
2. We will be installing new gates between courts 2 & 3 and 5 & 6. A short path will be created from the adjacent paved trail to these gates and “panic” hardware will be installed to let players open and close these gates only from the inside but restrict access from the outside.
3. We will be erecting a metal pipe frame with sun / shade fabric that will be placed overtop of the entire length of the row of benches as well as 6’ down from the top of the court fence. This should alleviate most of the western sun exposure that “bakes” us every late afternoon and evening!
The BCPC will be paying for these improvements from our savings but we would gladly welcome any additional contributions from our membership to replace these funds for future use on the resurfacing and upkeep of our courts and the replacement of nets and windscreens in a few years.
