Project Overview

The Veterans Park Tennis & Pickleball Court Project is a much-anticipated investment in Claremont’s recreational future. This project will bring brand-new, modern tennis and pickleball courts to Veterans Park, offering high-quality, inclusive outdoor spaces for players of all ages and abilities.

With the former Moody Park courts removed and the existing courts at Monadnock Park beyond repair, the need for updated facilities has been a longstanding concern. As pickleball continues to surge in popularity, both locally and regionally, this project directly addresses that demand while also restoring tennis opportunities within the city.


Cost & Funding

The total project cost is $394,000.00, made possible through a combination of federal funding and grant support:

  • $300,000.00 allocated from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) by the City of Claremont
  • $299,902.50 awarded through a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant

Contractor: Pine Hill Construction

From the Director

This project has been years in the making, and for the first time in Claremont’s history, our community now has outdoor pickleball courts alongside new tennis courts. These courts are more than just a place to play—they’re a symbol of what we can accomplish together. Huge thanks to the Claremont City Council, City Management, the Land and & Water Conservation Fund, Pine Hill Construction, Project Manager Chris Glock, the Rolling Thunder, and Mike & Beth Lemieux for making this project possible.Here's to new memories, active lifestyles, and a bright future for recreation in Claremont."
