A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Thursday afternoon to officially welcome the new pickleball and basketball courts to the Bourbon Sports Court in the Bourbon Community Park on Sunset Drive in Bourbon.
Bourbon Town Council President Ward Byers said the idea for the pickleball court came from Larry and Donna Lemler who requested the courts and it became reality over the summer. The basketball courts were also renovated for use by children and adults for years to come.
The project was made possible by a Crowdfunding campaign through the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. The campaign brought in the goal of $30,000 with extra funds to be used for other upgrades in the park. Surf Broadband, Harmony Marketing Group and CT Polymer were pacesetter donors for the project.
Town officials, Triton Community School Corporation representatives, donors and community members helped cut the ribbon Thursday afternoon.
