Redding officials consider funding for pickleball courts

The Redding Board of Selectmen has received an update from the Parks and Rec Department about the growing popularity of pickleball.  A proposal has been made to resurface the town’s four tennis courts, and possibly install dedicated pickleball courts as part of the project.  The sport was invented in 1965 and combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.  Parks and Recreation Director Rob Blick says lines are put down and nets set up in the Redding Community Center to allow play on three courts on select nights during the winter.  In warmer weather, it's played on the tennis courts. The proposed funding is included in the town’s capital budget, which will be up for a referendum in May.
