Grant Update:
Lights on the Solomon Pickleball Courts!
|
|
The Pickleball Lights are up and working just in time for the beautiful weather! Opened in 2020, the Solomon Pickleball Courts are a wonderful community asset almost always in use. The lights were installed with funding from the Ryan Solomon Memorial Fund of the Bexley Community Foundation and the Bexley Community Foundation General Grants Fund.
A note from Bexley Rec Director, Michael Price, "Bexley Recreation and Parks is very excited about the installation of new pickleball and tennis court lights. The new lighting replaces the inefficient outdated system on the tennis court and provides lighting for the Solomon Pickleball Courts. The lights will provide more playing time for the pickleball community, helping to accommodate the significant demand for court time. Thank you to the Bexley Community Foundation for all of their support of this project!"
