BFW was awarded the contract to design and administer construction of a new pickleball complex within historic Bob Noble Park in Paducah, Kentucky. The project showcases innovative design, blending modern sports facilities into a park setting with 100+ year-old trees. To ensure durability and performance, BFW employed post-tensioned concrete surfacing technology, a system rarely used for sports courts until recently.
Project Highlights
- Courts and Amenities
- Eight competition-ready pickleball courts
- Shade structures for spectator comfort
- Court lighting for extended play hours
- Secure fencing surrounding the courts
- ADA-compliant walkways for accessibility
- Site Integration
- Nestled among mature trees within Bob Noble Park
- Located adjacent to the existing tennis facility
- Shared parking and restroom facilities for convenience
- Engineering and Testing
- Civil, structural, and electrical engineering design by BFW
- Materials inspections and special testing for all concrete prior to owner acceptance
- Use of post-tensioned concrete surfacing for enhanced performance and durability
This project delivers a modern recreational facility for Paducah residents, combining innovative engineering with a community-focused design.
