Welcome to Piney Run Park!
Construction at Piney Run Park is underway. Improvements include a repaved basketball court, and conversion of the tennis courts to four pickleball courts. The parking lot at the new pickleball courts will be resurfaced and the boat trailer parking lot will be repaved to improve drainage. This work should be complete by the end of April. So please allow the contractors to work, and do not enter barricaded areas. And thank you for accepting this temporary inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and excuse our dust.
