New Pickleball Courts Open at Russell Elliot Park Today

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 16, 2026

The humidity is holding steady this morning, but the new shade sails at the park should make the mid-morning heat a bit more manageable.

📰 The Lead

The ribbon-cutting for the four new pickleball courts at Russell Elliot Memorial Park happens at 10:00 AM today. This project has been in the works since last fall, aiming to meet the surging demand that often left players waiting for hours at the older shared courts. The township opted for a high-grip, all-weather surface and installed specialized LED lighting that allows for play until 9:00 PM. Beyond just the courts, the project included a new shaded spectator bench and an improved drainage system for the surrounding lawn to prevent the puddling that plagued the area during spring rains. It is a significant win for the local league, which has grown by nearly forty percent in the last year alone. Expect a crowd for the inaugural serve this morning, followed by open play for the rest of the day.
