In addition, Odell Weeks is part of the Virginia Acres Park complex that has fourteen (14) purposely built lighted outdoor pickleball courts with permanent nets - located at 1635 Two Notch Rd Road. The courts outside are for all to enjoy without a designated schedule. It would be great if all could play together and respect the desire of the game. With no rules prohibiting this to happen, it is suggested that players waiting to play kindly ask players occupying the courts if they can share the space or ask what time they will finish their game. Hopefully, this will help with any concerns.
