Washington County announced on Apr. 30 that the parking garage terrace pickleball courts and track will be open to the public starting Thursday, with hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. The decision comes after months of discussions with various organizations about facilitating free public play, which are taking longer than anticipated.
The move is intended to give residents direct access to recreational facilities while those partnership conversations continue. The county has asked visitors to observe posted rule placards during their use of the courts and track.
