The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Thursday announced a $106,000 grant to support the construction of six asphalt, outdoor pickleball courts with fencing at Buhl Park in Hermitage in Mercer County.
“Local parks and recreation facilities improve the everyday lives of people of all places, ages, and backgrounds, while serving as a primary venue for recreation for Pennsylvanians,” Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said. “We are happy to assist the Buhl Park Corp. by investing in these new pickleball courts to help meet the needs of families and residents by providing opportunities for exercise and fun.”
The 300-acre Buhl Park currently offers a lake, fitness trail, disc golf course, outdoor nature classroom, and a number of other amenities.
The park was established by industrialist Frank H. Buhl and his wife in the early 1900s to rectify the Shenango Valley’s lack of recreational and cultural institutions.
