On June 25th, Mayor Scott Fadness told Pickleball supporters at a city Board of Works meeting, many from the Britton Falls neighborhood, that if $63,000 in donations could be raised, the city would contract for two more Pickleball courts at Cyntheanne Park.  The city was able to approve two Pickleball courts at the June 25th session, but could not fund two more that the citizens on hand at that meeting wanted.

It took less than a month for enough contributions to come through the local parks foundation to fund all $63,000.  What put the fundraising effort over the top was a donation of about $40,000 from one person.  Mayor Fadness says that person’s name will be disclosed in an announcement from the city later this week.

That allowed the Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety to approve the contract for the additional two Pickleball courts at Monday’s meeting.
