The two tennis courts at Verona's Veteran's Park have now been successfully transitioned into six new pickleball courts! The work began in late July 2024 and appears to now be complete (except that there were two orange cones like little dunce hats atop the end posts on the fences as you enter, so the City may not technically consider the courts to be officially open quite yet). All the nets are up, and there are fences in between all the courts, as well as around the perimeter of the courts. Parking is within a very short walking distance from the courts, and restrooms are in a park shelter that is about a 1-2 minute stroll from the courts. There are no overhead lights for these courts, unfortunately. Also, no windscreens have been installed. It is not clear if some will be installed at a future time. The courts are surrounded by prairie, so windscreens would be welcome. The courts themselves are beautiful! I have yet to hear back from the Verona Parks and Urban Forestry Department regarding when the official opening will be, but the courts appeared to be playable now. Veteran's Park is located at 113 Lincoln Street in Verona, WI, 53593.
