About this venue
2 outdoor pickleball courts at Louser Memorial Park Southwest (also known as Optimist Park). Ribbon cutting October 2025. Part of renovation that also includes 3 tennis courts and 2 small tennis courts for youth 10 and under. Funded through state grants and donations. City of Lebanon Parks & Recreation. 2026-07-31: The record's only cited source (lebanonpa.org/southwest-park, fetched fresh today) does NOT mention pickleball at all — it lists baseball/softball, basketball/tennis courts, soccer, playground only, another instance of the City of Lebanon's general park pages being stale post-renovation (same pattern as Coleman Memorial Park, checked same pass). The specific 'Oct 2025 ribbon cutting, 2 pickleball courts' claim already in this record's notes had no citation actually in sources[] — WebSearch located and confirmed it via LebTown's own Oct 28, 2025 article ('Lebanon cuts ribbon on renovated tennis and pickleball courts at Optimist Park'): 2 pickleball courts + 3 tennis + 2 junior tennis, at Louser Memorial Park Southwest AKA Optimist Park (same address, 1400 Elder St), courts now open. Added this article as an actual source (closing the previously-uncited-claim gap). Court count (2) and open status now genuinely confirmed; hours, cost, and phone remain unpublished in the article and not found elsewhere this pass.
