FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City of Irvine is Serving up Eight New Pickleball Courts
The City of Irvine will celebrate the opening of eight lighted pickleball courts at Mike Ward Community Park - Woodbridge with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday, February 3, from 3 to 5 p.m. The event will include remarks from City leaders, followed by a ribbon-cutting and scheduled gameplay for local pickleball organizations.
In addition to the eight courts, four shade structures, picnic tables, benches, and water refill stations have been installed. Lighting improvements, upgrades to the restroom facility, and various landscape and irrigation enhancements have also been completed at the park. To minimize noise impacts, the courts will be enclosed with a sound-dampening barrier.
The new courts will supplement the City's existing 22 pickleball courts at eight community and neighborhood parks, helping to meet the demand for one of the nation's fastest-growing sports. They will be available for community drop-in play, reservations, and programs on a daily basis. Court reservations and program registration will be available at yourirvine.org(link is external).
