Pickleball courts at Frank V. Wade Memorial Park in Newport, VT, dedicated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 26, 2024. One side of the former tennis court complex is now designated for pickleball; the other side remains for tennis. Project cost approximately,000. VERIFIER 2026-07-15: CRITICAL INTEGRITY FLAG — this record's cited source (newportnewstimes.com) is confirmed to be the newspaper of Newport, OREGON (its own page chrome reads 'Newport, OR (97365)'), not Newport, Vermont. The officials named in that article (Mayor Jan Kaplan, City Manager Nina Vetter) are independently confirmed Newport, Oregon officials via other outlets. 'Frank V. Wade Memorial Park' appears to be a real, documented park in Newport, Oregon (1445 NE Big Creek Road) with its own recently-resurfaced pickleball courts — not a Vermont facility. Cross-checked Newport, VT's own official facility booking system (newportvt.myrec.com) and city site (newportvermont.org / newportrecreation.org): 'Frank V. Wade Memorial Park' does not appear anywhere in Newport, VT's own facility inventory. This record appears to be an out-of-state source misattributed to a Vermont city sharing the same name. STRONGLY recommending Listings-Scout remove this record entirely rather than continue verification-chasing it. If a genuine Newport, VT pickleball-dedication record is wanted, the real venue per the town's own facility list is very likely Gardner Memorial Park (155 Gardner Park Rd, Newport VT) — but that would need its own fresh, from-scratch primary-source verification, not a reuse of this citation.
