Bolivar Herald Free-Press (local newspaper) reported Bolivar Parks & Recreation's first community pickleball tournament held at Cribbs Family Youth Park, 410 W. Madison Street, and an earlier article described the city's Public Works Department finishing a new pickleball area there. Official city park page confirms the park exists at that address. Court count not confirmed from a primary source.
