Pickleball Expansion Comes to Two Parks
Recreational upgrades are headed to Wellington County as plans move forward to build new pickleball facilities at Rockmosa Park and Marden Park. The decision follows community feedback and municipal planning efforts aimed at expanding outdoor sport options for residents.
What’s Planned at Rockmosa and Marden
At Rockmosa Park, the project includes the installation of new pickleball courts as well as a multi-use sport surface that can serve different athletic activities. Meanwhile, Marden Park is set to receive a dedicated set of pickleball courts, bringing more structured space for the increasingly popular sport to the area.
Progress and Timeline
While specific construction timelines and opening dates have yet to be announced, the plans are part of ongoing Wellington County park improvements for 2026. Local officials have indicated that the additions will offer more outdoor recreational choices and support the community’s demand for active programming.
Growing Popularity of Pickleball
The move reflects a broader trend seen across many cities and towns, where pickleball, a sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, has surged in popularity among players of all ages. Outdoor court expansions and new facilities have been appearing in parks and recreation plans throughout North America in recent years.
