The Pickleball Courts are Coming!!!

 The path that used to go from Lakeledge Rd. to the camp huts currently stops where the pickleball courts are being put in.





The ground has been leveled in front of the camp huts.

 Another view of the courts from the driveway between the fitness center and greenhouse.









Fitness center is on the right.

You can see the area in the back left of this photo where a lot of the dirt was pulled from, then large boulders were stacked for a retention wall.  Behind the retention wall is one of the tennis courts.



Here is a video to show how the game is played.
