INTEGRITY FLAG (2026-06-04): Official alachuacounty.us/Depts/Parks/Pages/Details.aspx?park=Veterans+Memorial+Park does NOT list pickleball as amenity. Listed amenities: baseball, basketball, softball, soccer, roller hockey, fitness trails, nature trails, volleyball — NO PICKLEBALL. Phone confirmed: 352-264-6847 from official page. Address confirmed: 7400 SW 41st Pl, Gainesville, FL 32608. 2026-06-10: ADDITIONAL FLAG: Official alachuacounty.us SERP confirms the "asphalt rink at Veterans Memorial Park is also informally used for pickleball" — described as informal use of roller hockey rink, not dedicated pickleball. Park amenities listed: baseball, basketball, softball, roller hockey — NO dedicated pickleball. Count of 5 appears to come from aggregators only. Strong integrity concern — this may be informal rink use, not dedicated courts.
