The leisure sport world in Anderson County took a vibrant leap forward as county officials recently announced the receipt of a significant grant to establish pickleball courts at the esteemed Dolly Cooper Park. The local administration revealed that they had acquired substantial financial backing for this project, amounting to $573,151.

A Local Collaboration towards Community Development

Embracing the successful procuring of funds, county officials are now moving towards the final stages of the pickleball courts’ design and development. Community leaders have extended gratitude towards Senator Cash for his instrumental role in materializing the project.

“We are truly grateful for Senator Cash’s assistance with this project,” expressed Council Member Jimmy Davis. “It serves as a perfect example of how state and local government can work together to meet needs defined by the community.”

Enhancing Recreation Services in Dolly Cooper Park

Empowering Communities through Sports
