City of St. George to reopen pickleball, tennis and sand volleyball courts, effective April 28

The City of St. George has announced the reopening of all city-owned pickleball, tennis and sand volleyball courts, effective April 28.

“After
discussions with the Mayor, City Council, City Manager and community members,
and listening to medical experts on both the local and statewide levels, we
felt it was the right time to open these recreational facilities again,” said
Leisure Services Director Shane McAffee.

The
facilities to reopen include:

• Pickleball courts
  at: Little Valley, Bloomington and Vernon Worthen parks (Worthen set to reopen
  in May due to construction)
• Tennis courts at: Hidden
  Valley, Larkspur, Cox Park and Tonaquint parks.
• Sand volleyball
  courts at: Vernon Worthen, Little Valley, Sunset, Silkwood, Christensen Park,
  Cottonwood Cove, Cox Park, Hidden Valley, J.C. Snow, Larkspur, Shadow Mountain,
  Tonaquint, 1100 East, 2450 East and Sunset parks.

There will be signage at
each facility to remind people of social distancing norms and play protocol. If
some pickleball players are uncomfortable with open play, they may reserve
courts for a fee of $10 per hour for private play.
