June Newsletter

What an exciting time for the Rockford Pickleball Club! After years of planning, fundraising, meetings, and construction, our new pickleball facility at the Meijer Sports Complex is officially open for play.

While we are still putting the finishing touches on the facility, it has been incredible to see the courts filling with players from morning until evening. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project through memberships, donations, volunteer hours, and encouragement along the way.

The courts are now open and available for play.

As part of our soft opening, a few items are still being completed and should be done in the next two weeks:

• Court divider fencing installation
• Windscreens
• Caulking
• Staining of the pavilion

We appreciate everyone's patience as these final details are completed.

This facility belongs to all of us, and we look forward to building a vibrant pickleball community for years to come.
