New Northland courts set to open this fall 

On February 28, Kansas City Parks & Recreation hosted a groundbreaking for eight new Pickleball Courts with additional improvements that include waterline infrastructure reconstruction, restroom installation, and sports lighting. The Hodge Park Pickleball courts will be installed in the southeastern corner of the park, due south of the newly constructed playground, waterline improvements span the length of the project area, culminating at NE 96th St. This $1.3 million PIAC-funded project will be constructed by Leath and Sons Inc. and is set to be completed in the fall. 

The event also celebrated the commencement of construction for eight Pickleball courts in Platte Purchase Park as well for an additional $200,000+ economic impact and more park amenities in the Northland.

Projects such as these align with our Board’s mission “to improve the quality of life, health, and wellness of our community” and highlight our city’s commitment to providing modern, accessible recreational facilities for our residents.
