The Mecosta County Visitors Bureau (bigrapids.org) and Big Rapids Daily News both report the City of Big Rapids' "Play Big" master-plan project added pickleball courts (plus refurbished tennis courts, a basketball court, and an ADA kayak launch) to Hemlock Park. Note: the city Parks & Rec site (brpr.org) separately states its organized pickleball league plays at Big Rapids Middle School rather than Hemlock Park — flagging for on-the-ground confirmation of current court location(s).
