To meet the growing demand for pickleball, Caddo Parish Parks and Recreation is converting existing outdoor tennis courts into 10 new pickleball courts across the parish.

Pickleball Resurfacing Project locations are as follows.

• Earl G. Williamson Park – 6 dedicated courts | 11425 LA Hwy. 1, Oil City
• Keithville Community Park – 2 shared pickleball/tennis courts | 12201 Mansfield Rd., Keithville
• Town of Blanchard – 1 dedicated court | 402 Birch Ave., Blanchard
• Town of Greenwood – 1 dedicated court | 9360 Greenwood Rd., Greenwood

“Over the past three years, pickleball has become the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. We’ve heard the strong demand from our community, both young and old, for more dedicated courts, and we’re delivering,” said Patrick Wesley, Director of Caddo Parish Parks and Recreation.

These courts will be open for use somewhere during the spring of this year (weather permitting).
