Tindall Park Tennis/Pickleball Courts Now Closed Until Mid-Fall

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — The Tindall Park tennis and pickleball courts are now temporarily closed for renovations, starting Monday, July 22.

The work is estimated to be completed in mid- to late fall 2024.

Facilities affected: Work Zone 1: Courts 1-8; Work Zone 2: Courts 9-16; Work Zone 3: Entrance to Tindall Park and parking area (will require the park to be closed to all vehicular traffic for 3-4 days)

The project is intended to result in smoother and more even courts for tennis and pickleball.

As part of the renovations, there will be tree removal in the surrounding area. Tree roots can grow underneath the courts, causing cracks, uneven surfaces and potential safety hazards, said Middletown Township.

Leaves, twigs, and other debris can accumulate on the courts, which makes maintenance difficult and can create slippery conditions. Overhanging trees can block sunlight, preventing the courts from drying quickly after rain and can lead to prolonged wet and potentially unsafe playing conditions.
