The pickleball courts at Albany’s Hackleman Park had lots of big cracks in the concrete. Now the courts are getting repaired.
The pickleball courts at Albany’s Hackleman Park have developed a series of cracks, and here’s a story about efforts to get the playing surface fixed.
Two years after the Albany City Council approved their construction, new pickleball courts at Linn-Benton Community College are ready for play. While the college still has a sign saying the campus is closed to public use, City Manager Peter Troedsson says the courts are open.
We’ve had fine summer weather in April, but Albany’s new complex of pickleball courts at Linn-Benton Community College remains closed for two reasons. One, the courts are still not quite finished. And two — what else? — Covid.
Should the public be allowed to use the new pickleball courts at Linn-Benton Community College in Albany during the Covid era? That question has become moot for now because the courts won’t be finished this year.
If you’re among the people in Albany wondering why there’s been no progress on the new pickleball courts at Linn-Benton Community College, this story is for you.
