Event Description
Join us in welcoming the Siouxland Pickleball Association to the Siouxland Chamber (finally!) and help us celebrate their new renovations!
In 2020, the City of Sioux City renovated 5 underused tennis courts into 2 tennis courts and 8 pickleball courts at Riverside Park next to the public pool located at 1301 Riverside Blvd. These are the first dedicated courts for pickleball in the Siouxland area. The Siouxland Pickleball Association is grateful for the City's support of pickleball, and since that time the SPA subsequently applied for and received a generous grant from MRHD along with other financial support from businesses and individuals to purchase shade structures in the staging area between pickleball courts. Additional improvements include wind screens, a storage box for balls, paddles and other equipment, and 6 new picnic tables have been ordered and should arrive soon. With over 300 members and growing in less than 2 years, the SPA wants to continue partnering with the City and others to provide quality indoor and outdoor places to play pickleball for players of all ages in the Siouxland area.
