A new recreation amenity was added to Wheaton Park in partnership with BSA Troop 71 Elk Mound and Scout Mason Books Eagle Scout project.  Pickleball is now available in Wheaton Park!  Two pickleball courts with portable pickleball nets will share the existing tennis and basketball court area.  This project created a multi-use recreation area that allows park users to play pickleball, tennis, or basketball.  The basketball hoops and backboards were also reconditioned.

 

To play pickleball all you have to do is the following:

1.  Bring your own paddles and balls.  

2.  Unlock the pickleball portable net wheel locks.

3.  Roll the pickleball portable net onto the designated court.

NOTE:  Pickleball portable net stored on north side of the tennis court is for east side pickleball court (closest to the upper pavilion).

Pickleball portable net stored on south side of the tennis court is for west side pickleball court (closest to the porta potties).

4.  Lock the pickleball portable net wheel locks.

5.  Play pickleball!

6.  When completed with your pickleball experience please return the pickleball portable net(s) to their respective storage location(s), lock the pickleball portable net wheel locks, and roll-up the tether(s).

 

We hope you enjoy this new recreation amenity in Wheaton Park and a big thank you to Scout Mason Books and BSA Troop 71 Elk Mound!!
