DEVLIN PARK

About

Last spring, McCandless opened pickleball courts at Devlin Park, off Grubbs Road. Former tennis courts were resurfaced and modified the previous fall for pickleball play, according to John Bojarski, Town of McCandless public information officer. "There were multiple people that reached out to town council members to suggest adding pickleball courts over the last few years," he said. "This coincides with the town's 2019 comprehensive plan, which outlined the general need for additional recreation opportunities for residents." Two tennis courts still are adjacent to the pickleball area. Reservations will be needed for three of the four courts at Devlin Park, available through McCandless' new online reservation system beginning in April. McCandless residents will be able to reserve any of the three courts for an hourly fee up to 72 hours in advance. The fourth court will continue to be available on a first-come, first-served basis. McCandless is also hosting Learn to Play Pickleball lessons starting at the end of April, along other beginner/intermediate-level sessions.
