The Eagle River Pickleball Association (ERPA) is actively looking for 1.5-2 acres within 3-5 miles of downtown Eagle River to build 10 new, state-of-the-art outdoor pickleball courts with utilities. WXPR reports the existing Riverview Park courts, built around 2009, are inadequate, causing long waits and lacking space and parking, according to ERPA VP Denny Erardi. ERPA is prepared to purchase the land but welcomes donations. The new public courts will offer ERPA members who pay a $25 annual fee, exclusive use, typically 8:00 to 11:00 AM. Erardi emphasizes the courts’ value for sport growth, community, and economic benefits. Contact Denny Erardi or Jane Jones with land options.
