It would join several other courts in town.
In November, the town and Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz dedicated new combination tennis and pickleball courts at Crandall Park. A total of $500,000 was allotted from a source called the Small Town Economic Assistance Program, or the state STEAP grants.
Another $332,000 in STEAP funding has been earmarked for exclusive pickleball courts at Heron Cove Park, with construction planned for the spring and summer, Bysiewicz said.
