Pickleball at McDonough Park is now available with some limitations. The City of Eau Claire and the City/County Health Department have authorized the first steps to open pickleball in Eau Claire.  The same guidelines will be used at the Menomonie and Chippewa Falls pickleball courts.  

 

McDonough Park Courts are open every day from 8:00 am until 8:15 pm. for all levels.

​

These are the pickleball guidelines we must follow for now:

1.  Singles play only.  Recommended but not required to play with family members.

2.  Face masks are recommended.

3.  People waiting to play must wait outside the fence six feet apart.  Benches are not to be used at this time.  We recommend bringing your own lawn chairs.

4.  Use hand sanitizer after each game and after touching gates and fencing.

5.  It is recommended to wear a glove on the ball hand.  

6.  Remember to stretch before play and wash your hands and equipment when you get home.

7.  We need to follow these guidelines carefully so they don't close the park again for pickleball.
