The Town of Westville recently broke ground on a donated community pickleball facility.
Construction is underway on two new lighted pickleball courts at Prairie Meadow Park on US 421.
The project is being donated to the town by the team members who worked on infrastructure upgrades to serve the Westville Correctional Center. That undertaking was a partnership between the Indiana Department of Corrections, Indiana Finance Authority and Westville.
The following companies and labor groups are coming together to create a recreational space for residents and visitors to enjoy:
- Bowen Engineering – Donating operations management, carpenters, laborers, finishers, equipment and site preparation; also providing lunch and refreshments for the crew
- McMahon Associates – Design, layout, engineering, submittal review and approval, plaque and pickleball court equipment
- LGS Plumbing – Labor and equipment for initial excavation
- Smith Ready Mix – Concrete materials at a discounted rate
- Parkman Excavating – Stone subgrade materials and hauling
- Hoosier Concrete Pumping – Pump truck
- Sweney Electric – Labor and materials for lighting
- Prism Painting – Labor and materials for coatings
- WhiteCap – Concrete reinforcement materials
- Plasterers & Cement Masons – Local 692 Area 406 & 438 – Donating three finishers, two business agents and four apprentices
- Laborers – Local 81 – Donating labor resources to assist with the concrete pour
“This court is a physical symbol of what it means to build not just infrastructure, but community,” said Michael Albert, Westville Town Council president, in a press release. “Everyone involved in the utility projects cared deeply about Westville, and this donation reflects their shared commitment to giving something lasting back to the town.”
The facility is expected to be completed and ready for public use by the end of August.
