It’s game on at Pouncey Tract Park: Henrico unveils 12 new pickleball courts
An eager crowd gathered at Pouncey Tract Park on Saturday as Henrico County officials unveiled an addition to the recreation scene: 12 new pickleball courts, representing a growing passion in central Virginia for the sport. The event featured a ceremonial "first serve," celebrating the completion of the $4.4 million project, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors in August 2023. “For me, most important is the spirit of community that will continue to be embodied on these courts as young people continue to come play here or learn the sport,” Three Chopt Supervisor Misty D. Roundtree said. She added, “This is truly a sport where we see families playing together, and I love that.” The new complex has 10 standard courts and two championship courts, with all courts illuminated for evening play. The standard courts measure 34 by 64 feet, while the championship courts are larger, measuring 44 by 74 feet.
