Demo, Dedication Planned For Rothermel Family Pickleball Courts

NAPERVILLE, IL — A ribbon cutting will be held to officially debut the six new pickleball courts that were added to Frontier Sports Complex. Named for the Rothermel Family Fund of DuPage Foundation, the Rothermel Pickleball Courts were partially funded by a $100,000 grant from the fund.

"We are grateful to the Rothermel family for their generosity in supporting these new courts," Naperville Park District Executive Director Brad Wilson said in a news release."Pickleball is a great game for all ages and we are glad to be able to provide places to play in parks across the community."

The decision to name the pickleball courts for the Rothermel family was spearheaded in late 2021, following a private donation.

Those who attend the June 13 event can also try their hand at pickleball. Work on the new courts kicked off in autumn 2022.
