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.

Washington County advances cultural vibrancy through its public library system and convention services, according to the official website. In addition, Washington County maintains key community facilities such as the Dixie Convention Center and Legacy Park, as reported by the official website.

The county covers a large area in southern Utah, with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office patrolling approximately 2,500 square miles of territory according to information from the official website. Leadership in policy development and resource management is provided by the Washington County Commission, according to details found on its official website.

Washington County serves as a catalyst for sustainable prosperity while honoring its unique cultural environment in southern Utah, according to statements on its official website. Known historically as Utah’s Dixie due to its mild climate and cotton production heritage, these new recreation opportunities add another layer of community engagement.
