Union City plans new park with soccer field and pickleball courts

Hurricane City is set to enhance its recreational offerings with the upcoming addition of a new park, featuring a full-size soccer field and 18 pickleball courts. During the Planning Commission meeting on December 12, 2024, officials discussed the park's design and its potential to host significant tournaments, promising to attract more community engagement and activity.

The new park will not only provide ample green space but also address the community's growing interest in sports. The inclusion of pickleball courts is particularly noteworthy, as this sport has seen a surge in popularity. The commission emphasized the importance of collaborating with the parks department to ensure that the park aligns with the city’s overall recreational goals.

While the design is still in its early stages, the commission highlighted the need for a professional landscape architect to finalize the layout. This step is crucial to ensure that the park meets the community's needs and integrates well with existing facilities.

In addition to the new park, the commission is preparing for another proposal next month, indicating a proactive approach to expanding recreational spaces in Hurricane. The discussions reflect a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents through improved access to outdoor activities.

As these plans move forward, the community can look forward to more opportunities for recreation and social engagement, reinforcing Hurricane's dedication to fostering a vibrant and active environment.
