West Central Tribune (Willmar's local newspaper) reported the Willmar City Council approved converting two tennis courts into six pickleball courts at Sperry Park in July 2019 (~$72,458 project cost). City of Willmar's official Adult Sports page confirms seasonal drop-in pickleball at Sperry Park during summer months ($3/day or $100/yr, contact Anita Nelson, [email protected], 320-235-1454); year-round pickleball is offered separately at the Willmar Events & Recreation Center (already tracked).
