Pickleball Courts Proposed for Veterans Park

Pickleball Rendering 2023 06 30 09 01 48

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country and soon we may have new dedicated Pickleball Courts right here in town! We have heard from many people who are very interested in having a Pickleball facility in Clifton Park. 

Supervisor Barrett first experienced the sport years ago while visiting his parents in Florida.  When he returned home to Clifton Park he had the Buildings and Grounds Department line some of the town tennis courts to be used as pickleball courts.  Since then the sport has really taken off in Clifton Park!

Pickleball is a fun sport and a group activity.  Many people will gather at one time, often early in the morning to compete. As it has grown in popularity around town there have been some minor issues with the proximity of the courts to residential neighborhoods. 

We want to encourage recreation and wellness in town while also keeping our quiet neighborhoods the peaceful places they are.  With that in mind Councilman Morelli and Supervisor Barrett are proposing a project to renovate one of three softball fields at Veterans Park on MacElroy Road into 10 pickleball courts including a covered pavilion.

Veterans Park is an ideal location for dedicated Pickleball courts because it is set away from residential homes and has plenty of parking for players and spectators to use.

The Town will be looking to gauge public interest in the proposed project. Stay tuned for updates!

New Crossing Beacons Installed Around Town

Parkside Trail

Supervisor Barrett embarked on a pilot program several years ago installing new crossing beacons at busy crosswalks around town.  These new crossing beacons that are brightly colored safety yellow and have a flashing light to alert vehicles of a pedestrian wanting to cross have been very effective in making our town crosswalks safer.

Crossing beacons have been installed this week at the intersections of Hillcrest Drive and Ushers Road,  and Parkside Trail and Longkill Road.  The Town Board recently ordered additional signs to be placed at other busy pedestrian locations in the near future.

Crossing beacons will assist pedestrians in safely crossing the roadways around town.  It is important to always take caution when crossing a roadway.  After pressing the button and engaging the beacons be sure to look both ways to ensure that oncoming traffic is slowing to stop for your safe crossing. 

We hope to continue to encourage outdoor activity and safe pedestrian traffic around town with the installation of additional crossing beacons and sidewalks.  It's a beautiful time of year to get out and enjoy a walk!
