Eight pickleball courts are coming to Mike Ward Community Park — Woodbridge as the City works to meet growing demand for the sport. Along with the courts, four shade structures, site lighting improvements, and upgrades to the restroom facility are being completed.
The project also includes the installation of picnic tables, benches, drinking fountains, and various landscape and irrigation enhancements at the park. It is expected to be complete in February 2026.
The polls have closed in the April 15 Special Municipal Election for a Councilmember to represent Council District 5 through the end of 2026.
