Pickleball courts to close next month for new roof

They raised $1 million in a few months, now members of the Vernon Pickleball Association (VPA) are using those funds to buy a roof.

“The VPA building committee has placed the order for the required pieces which are now being manufactured,” a release from the sports group said. “The roof will be a steel truss and fabric covering with on-site assembly anticipated to begin at the end of September.”

It means the popular pickleball courts at Marshall Field will be closed for play by late September.

“The newly covered and heated pickleball courts should be ready for use by the end of 2020,” the release said.

Meanwhile, the VPA’s ‘Raise the Roof’ fundraiser continues as its final target is $1.2 million for the project.
