Construction has begun on two pickleball courts just east of the tennis courts. When the Oz Park Advisory Council raised $110,000 to resurface the tennis courts in 2017, the pad was resurfaced and left unmarked for everyone to use as desired. The Park District announced in September 2022 that they would build 50 pickleball courts in parks. In the last year the pad has become an unofficial pickleball court so, when the Park District asked OPAC if we wanted two pickleball courts there, we jumped at the chance. The courts will be poured now and since the asphalt has to "cure" for one month before the surface is applied, the work will be finished in the spring.
