Pickleball Comes to Prattville

Mayor Gillespie, Jr. and the Prattville Parks and Recreation Department held the ribbon-cutting for the first phase renovations of Newton Park. In March of 2024, the park reopened with five new tennis courts, four pickleball courts, and concessions/restroom facility.  HNP master-planned the layout and provided construction drawings for the courts, landscaping, site furniture, and irrigation.  The courts feature new LED lights on a timer so games can be played at night. This cost-effective option promotes safety and gives those using the courts more flexibility to enjoy the park.  Additional improvements to come in phase two include the redevelopment of five existing tennis courts to 14 pickleball courts, additional tennis courts, skate park, and enhancements to the existing parking lot.
