The two newest pickleball courts are not so new at all. They were designed and built a few years ago to facilitate some of Mount Vernon’s youngest athletes. The two courts were specially designed to allow beginners some as young as 5 years old to learn how to play tennis. The addition of extra wind screens on the fences and the painting of pickleball lines on the court’s surface will allow a greater number of people to use the courts more often.
