Court Maintenance
The Spalding County Pickleball Association is excited to announce that the front outdoor Courts 5 – 12 will be resurfaced beginning next Wednesday, October 16th. This is expected to take several days. During this time, Courts 1-4 and 13 – 18 will still be available for play as normal. This improvement of the courts is made possible primarily through membership dues, sponsor support, and volunteers who assist with fundraising projects. These improvements are a cooperative effort with Spalding County Leisure Services.
Hopefully, this is the first of several projects planned to maintain our wonderful facility! We appreciate your understanding during this time of maintenance and encourage everyone to share the courts! If you are not already a member, please consider joining the Spalding County Pickleball Association, because our dues and volunteering enable improvement projects like these to continue. The SCPA is approaching 400 members and hopes to continue this phenomenal growth! It’s the best entertainment you can find for $25.00/year!
Sincerely,
Mike Gumbinger, President
