• Pickleball Courts Construction To Begin Around December; Grand Opening Expected Next Summer (hinghamanchor.com) — Hingham is moving ahead with demolishing an old Bare Cove Park Drive building to make way for eight new pickleball courts across from Carlson Field, with construction expected to start this winter and opening by summer 2027. Funded through Community Preservation Act money and town reserves, the fully accessible complex will include sound-mitigating fencing after abutters raised noise concerns during earlier public vetting.
