New pickleball court at Deerhorn Landing east of Springfield thanks to support from voter-approved Lane County Parks levy

Pickleball has taken the community by storm - and Lane County Parks has taken note. A new pickleball court is now available at Deerhorn Landing, located east of Springfield.*

The basketball court can now also serve as a pickleball court thanks to the addition of removable netting and new striping.

"It's exciting to be able to enhance opportunities for people to get outside, get active and have fun in our parks," said Lane County Parks Manager Brett Henry. "Investing in projects like this helps make our parks more welcoming and more functional for visitors. We're very thankful voters approved the levy that is making this and so much more possible."

In addition to the new court, the parking lot was refreshed with new gravel and graded. Park signs were also repaired and refinished to provide an improved welcome to park visitors. The work was performed by Lane County Parks maintenance staff.

Park hours are dusk to dawn and the court is first come, first served.

Voter-approved levy funding provided the financial support for the park upgrades.
