Work is almost complete on new pickleball courts in Solvang.
The two new courts at Hans Christian Andersen Park and are expected to be ready for use by the end of April.
The City says after several requests for pickleball courts were received, they were able to figure out a way to make them happen.
Donations are helping pay for part of the project and some of the tasks, like building a retaining wall, are being done in-house to help limit expenses.
âWe heard the community ask for pickleball courts, which seemed challenging from a cost perspective, but staff stepped up,â said City Manager Xenia Bradford in a press release. âPublic Works staff has done a tremendous job taking the time from their work-day to make this happen for the community.â
