Pickleball courts formal dedication April 10
Come out and help the greater Bowie community celebrate the grand opening of The Blade Pickleball Courts at 2 p.m. on April 10.
This event will include a ribbon cutting ceremony, open play on the new courts, an opportunity to meet local players and community members all to enjoy family-friendly fun. All ages and skill levels welcome.
The new pickleball courts are located west of the Bowie Knife Plaza in Pelham Park offering four covered courts and parking.
This project was undertaken by the Bowie Economic Development Corporation 4B Board almost one year ago when the board received approval to spend up to $1.2 million from 4B sales tax funds for the park enhancement project. Following city council approval last June, construction began in late September, 2025.
The 4B Board worked closely with the parks board to plan for this project.

The annual summer chlorine conversion at the City of Bowie Water Treatment Plant will run Aug. 6 to Sept. 5.
Jerry Sutton, plant supervisor, said customers may notice some minor odor and taste issues with the water during this period as the treatment system changes disinfectant. This is a yearly state mandate for the conversion. Questions may be directed to the water plant at 940-872-6414
The plant uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine called chloramines. Across a period of time those ingredients build up in the system and it takes a change to straight chlorine across 28 days to clear it out. At the end of 30 days the water should return to normal.
