The Town of Bedford is exploring the desirability of Pickleball play opportunities.

Currently, the Town offers Pickleball programming on a limited basis, indoors using the school gym facilities in the winter and outdoors on the tennis courts during the spring, summer and fall.

This summer, the John Glenn Middle School tennis courts have been lined for Pickleball play. The intent is for the courts to offer opportunity for both Pickleball and Tennis play this summer at this location.

A box and use forms have been placed at the JGMS courts to track Pickleball use as part of the exploration process.

As always, the courts are for use on a first come, first served basis (unless organized School or Recreation use), with a one hour limit if others are waiting to use the courts.
