Salt Lake City adds 8 pickleball courts to Rose Park neighborhood

• The public utilities department replaced the park's old tennis courts as they worked on the city's sewer system that runs under the park.
• The plan moved forward after Rose Park residents "expressed a strong desire" for pickleball, per the city.

Between the lines: The park is located near Guadalupe School, which serves a large Latino student population.

What they're saying: "Rosewood Park acts as an extension of our school, giving our kids a great space to play and try new things," the school's executive director Richard Pater said in a statement.

What's next: As the colder weather approaches, Salt Lakers will soon have more opportunities to play indoors.

• Picklr, a network of indoor pickleball courts, is set to open its seventh Utah location in Salt Lake City on Sept. 14.
