Improvements are underway for new pickleball and tennis courts at Loughran Park!
The Loughran Park Tennis/Pickleball Facility Improvements Project maintains the existing footprint of the courts, improves subgrade conditions, adds green infrastructure practices to improve drainage, and increases player capacity. Construction work will include demolition of the existing tennis/pickleball courts and fencing and the installation of two tennis and eight pickleball asphalt courts, fencing, and bioretention swale landscaping. Pickleball sound mitigation is part of this project, including installing sound barriers at the pickleball courts, switching the pickleball and tennis court locations, and prohibiting pickleball play on the tennis courts.
Arold Construction Company of Kingston has been contracted for the construction work, which is expected to begin on Monday, August 18, 2025.
PSM Consulting LLC recently conducted a study to understand the nature of pickleball sound, the measurement of the sound levels, and appropriate mitigation methods for the Loughran Park project. The study, which is available under Documents, listed several mitigation recommendations including the installation of sound reflective barriers and upgrading the height and strength of the fencing, which have been incorporated into the project.
Construction is expected to be completed in November 2025. Funding for this project came from the City of Kingston Recreation Trust Fund.
