Update on facility closings due to floor refinishing.
We were just notified that gym floor refinishing at some of the facilities will start one day earlier than originally scheduled. This may be because the refinishing project at Optimist has been delayed. The court tape at Optimist has already been removed, so play is not available at this time. Depending on the delay, we may re-tape the court. Please check the website https://www.pickleball-huntsville.com/locations.php for updates. Here is the latest information available to us:
- ALL Huntsville recreation centers will be closed on Monday, September 6th, 2021 for Labor Day.
- Fern Bell will be closed for floor refinishing starting on Monday, August 30, 2021. We’re hoping to have it ready for play by September 7th.
- Shurney will be closed for floor refinishing starting on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. We’re hoping to have it ready for play by September 8th.
- Max Luther will be closed for floor refinishing starting on Thursday, September 2, 2021. We’re hoping to have it ready for play by September 8th.
- Brahan Spring will be closed for floor refinishing starting on Tuesday, September 7, 2021. We’re hoping to have it ready for play by September 12th.
Floor Resurfacing at Huntsville Gyms
Floors will be resurfaced at Fern Bell (starting Monday), Optimist Park (starting Tuesday), Shurney Center (starting Thursday), Max Luther (starting Friday). The Club will need to retape the floors before we can play again. We’re hoping to have Fern Bell ready by Tuesday morning September 7, Optimist Park by Tuesday afternoon Sept 7, Shurney Center by Wednesday September 8, and Max Luther by Wednesday September 8. We have to work around the holiday weekend. The dates the courts will be ready may change. Weather can dictate how quickly the courts can cure and it looks like there may be some hurricane driven rain in our forecast next week. I’ll try to keep you updated!
