Pickleball Courts Now Open at Veterans Memorial Park
Nine new pickleball courts are now open for public use at Veterans Memorial Park, located at 2700 Northview Dr. in Dubuque. The courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis for all ages to enjoy.
Four existing tennis courts at Veterans Memorial Park were converted into nine dedicated pickleball courts. The cost of this project was approximately $100,000 and was funded by the City of Dubuque’s capital improvement program and a grant from the Grant Wood Loop Parks to People Initiative. A citizen group of pickleball enthusiasts were heavily involved in the process to gain funding for the project, design and now promotion of the courts and pickleball as a sport.
The water has been turned off in City of Dubuque parks (restrooms, drinking fountains, pavilions, etc.) but the parks are open and accessible to visitors year-round.
For more information, contact the City of Dubuque Leisure Services Department at 563-589-4263.
