The city of Emporia officially dedicated its newest park and pickleball courts, Sunday afternoon. Reeble Park, located just west of Emporia Country Club, is named for Barney and Jane Reeble and features six pickleball courts. Mayor Becky Smith credited the Reeble Foundation for its “fundamental” contribution, making the park a reality. The pickleball courts cost around $300,000, with $60,000 of that coming from private donors, like the Reeble Foundation. “Pickleball is the next step in making us a regional destination,” she said. “The active pickleball community is what makes this worth it.”
