A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the unveiling of brand-new pickleball courts and an immersive nature play area designed to enhance outdoor recreation for residents of all ages. The celebration will also feature a family-friendly craft activity, offering visitors the opportunity to leave their mark on the park.
