Improvements for the new pickleball and tennis courts at Loughran Park are complete!
The Loughran Park Tennis/Pickleball Facility Improvements Project maintains the pre-existing footprint of the courts, improves subgrade conditions, adds green infrastructure practices to improve drainage, and increases player capacity. Construction work included 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.
PSM Consulting LLC 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 were incorporated into the project.
Funding for this project came from the City of Kingston Recreation Trust Fund.
Arold Construction Company of Kingston was contracted for the construction work, which began in August 2025.
Construction was completed in November 2025, but we had early snow and the courts were closed for the winter. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony in spring 2026 and the courts will be open to the public as soon as the weather allows.
