Yesterday, residents, commissioners and staff met at the new Scott Park pickleball courts for a ribbon cutting ceremony. Many residents turned out and all seemed extremely happy with the new courts. There was a short speech by Township Manager Denise Fitzgerald, cutting of the ribbon, and a raffle drawing awarding one lucky attendee a pickleball paddle set.

“Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good evening. On behalf of the Board of Commissioners and Scott Township as a whole, I would like to welcome you to the grand opening of our brand-new pickleball court! Today marks a significant milestone for our community as we inaugurate a space dedicated to fun, fitness, and fellowship.

Pickleball is more than just a sport; it’s a way to bring people together, encouraging both young and old to engage in healthy activity and spirited competition. It is a game that fosters camaraderie, challenges our skills, and brings joy to all who participate.

This court represents months of planning, hard work, and dedication. It’s a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with a common goal. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this project possible:

– To our community leaders and officials who supported this initiative from the very beginning.
– And to all the volunteers and enthusiasts who have shown unwavering enthusiasm and support.

Our new pickleball court is not just a place for sport; it’s a place where friendships will be forged, where families will bond, and where memories will be made. It is a space that will serve as a vibrant hub of activity for many years to come.

I encourage everyone to take advantage of this wonderful new facility. Whether you are a seasoned player or a complete beginner, there is a place for you here.

As we cut the ribbon today, we celebrate more than just the opening of a court. We celebrate community, health, and the spirit of coming together. So, grab your paddles, rally your friends, and let’s make this pickleball court a cornerstone of our community life.

Thank you all for being here to share in this special moment.

Now, without further ado, I would like to ask the commissioners and the residents here today to gather in front of the new courts so we can cut the ribbon and declare our new pickleball court officially open!

Thank you!

Enjoy the day, everyone!” – Manager Denise Fitzgerald
