Scarborough, Maine Opens Eight New Pickleball Courts

The town of Scarborough, Maine, has opened eight dedicated pickleball courts at Memorial Park. The courts were constructed on the former skate‑park site, and town officials say the addition addresses long wait times at existing facilities and meets growing local demand for the fast‑growing sport.

Plans are also under way to build a new skate park at a different location, reflecting a broader trend of municipalities investing in recreational spaces that promote active, low‑impact outdoor activities for residents of all ages.
