Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country for people of all ages, particularly the senior population. The Hudson community is asking the Hudson Park Board and City Council to approve a location and funding for 8 dedicated pickleball courts.

The Hudson Community Pickleball Association (HCPA) was recently created as a result of the high demand for pickleball. We welcome you to join us -- there is no cost to join and you will be informed of our progress as well as other news about pickleball. Please select the option shown on the right to join the HCPA.

With a goal to keep costs to a minimum, we are currently looking at several parks where parking, bathrooms and water already exist and the area is far from homes to eliminate noise concerns.

The picture above is the Shawnee Park courts in Woodbury who have almost 250 players signed up.

The Hudson Community would be enhanced by meeting the demands for public pickleball courts. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America and there are over 200 pickleball players in the area.

As signee, I request the Hudson Park Board and Hudson City Council to determine the location of eight (8) new pickleball courts and to finance the construction of the courts.

We live in Lakeland & Hudson would be closer for us to play than either Stillwater or Woodbury. We also have our adult children in Hudson & want to get them & the grandkids to play!!

We help coordinate pickleball play with the Stillwater Pickleball Group. We've seen membership double in the past year to over 150 members. We'd love to come play, and likely spend money while in Huson. Good luck!!

I would love to see Hudson getting dedicated pickleball courts. While not exclusively, but a lot of seniors are enjoying this outdoor sport. Lets be a great community who also caters to active seniors in addition of youth sports support.

Please consider constructing courts as they are desperately needed. They would provide exercise AND bring players who would also shop/dine in the area so a smart business decision too.

In three short years I've watched the RFPBA grow from 3 members to 50+ members. Please support the proposal from the HCPA. LeLand Lueck, President of the RFPBA

I am in full support of an outdoor Pickleball facility in Hudson, Wisconsin. The quote, "If you build it, they will come", will never ring truer once these courts are available to the people of Hudson.
