Sport court at Wheeler Athletic Complex closed June 1 – June 6 for coating and striping

[Duluth, MN] On June 1, the sport court at the Wheeler Athletic Complex will be striped and an acrylic coating will be added to the dedicated pickleball courts. To accommodate this work, the sport court will remain closed from June 1 through June 6.

This striping and coating work are among the final elements to be completed under the current scope of work for a larger West Duluth Sports Corridor Mini-Master Plan implementation project.

Previously completed Wheeler Athletic Complex improvements from the Mini-Master Plan implementation project include a sport court replacement, baseball field improvements, dugout improvements, restroom renovations, accessible walkway improvements, new horseshoe pits, and the addition of sand volleyball courts.

Funding for this project was made possible by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Outdoor Recreation Program, half and half tourism tax funds, the Park Fund, and a donation from the Duluth Area Pickleball Association.
