West Lakes Pickleball Project <br /> Sandy Rasmussen, 786 Wildhurst Trail, and Caroline Melberg, an Orono Parks Legacy board member, <br /> reported on a joint project between Orono Parks Legacy and the West Lakes Pickleball Club to develop a <br /> fundraising campaign for development of the planned pickleball courts. In February the City Council <br /> approved a nine-court pickleball complex near the donation garden. They explained the campaign to raise <br /> money for the courts and showed concept photos. A website has been created and is up and running and <br /> can accept pledges and donations. <br /> Rasmussen and Melberg said the West Lakes Pickleball Project was initiated in 2021 and the group is <br /> now working with Orono Parks and Recreation. The City has committed a$375,000 parcel of land near <br /> the Long Lake Fire Station and the donation garden and the volunteers are looking to raise $800,000 to <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
