Evansville, IN – According to the statement, the new courts will reportedly be located on the southeast side of the park at 5301 Nurrenbern Road, Evansville, Indiana 47712.
Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners also announced that the $472,470 project will be paid for by funding through the American Rescue Plan Act and will replace the existing four tennis courts with six pickleball courts and two tennis courts.
Included is the removal and replacement of the perimeter fence, a full tear-out and replacement of the asphalt playing area with new lines, new LED lights, a new acrylic topcoat, and a new water drainage system to prevent cracks from forming.
