Several hundred people joined the celebration to dedicate The Blade Pickleball Courts on April 10 in Pelham Park.
Hosted by the 4B Economic Development Corporation, Bowie Chamber of Commerce, Bowie Community Development and 4A BEDC the groups celebrated the success of hard work, patience and partnership. Four covered courts were opened to the public after the ribbon cutting.
These courts are located west of Bowie Knife Plaza, along with expanded parking. It was a park enhancement project of the 4B Economic Development Corporation using 4B sales tax monies. Last June the city council approved expenses up to $1.2 million. Along with the parking and courts, there are plans to repair the walking path in this area.
