$2.6 Million Falmouth Pickleball Proposal On Hold

FALMOUTH, MA — A multimillion-dollar pickleball project was put on hold at Falmouth's Town Meeting, stalling the installation of new courts.

Town Meeting article 11 proposed a $2.6 million investment to design and construct pickleball courts and other amenities at Falmouth's Trotting Park fields.

For background, the Recreation Department has applied to the Community Preservation Committee for $2.6 million for this same project.

The Community Preservation Committee has not yet determined whether to submit this project for consideration to the April 2024 Annual Town Meeting.

"Because this project could potentially be funded from Community Preservation, where many other priorities cannot, the Town Manager did not recommend Free Cash funding for this project at this time," according to an article explanation.

As for the article proposed at Town Meeting, that to was postponed, as the petitioners asked for more planning time.
