Reputable local newspaper Dubois County Herald (Perry County News) reported in July 2023 that Tell City Parks & Recreation constructed new pickleball courts at Hagedorn Park (alongside renovated basketball courts), including new court lighting; Director Brandon Long confirmed the project was funded via ARPA funds. The official City of Tell City park page (tellcity.in.gov) confirms Hagedorn Park's location and Parks & Recreation contact but its amenities list has not yet been updated to include pickleball. Court count not confirmed.
