Four new courts at Truman Courts at Fleming Park offer residents a free place to enjoy one of the nation's fastest-growing sports
Jackson County, MO, -Jackson County Parks is serving up something new! County Executive Phil LeVota and Jackson County Parks officials will celebrate the grand opening of Truman Courts at Fleming Park, the first pickleball courts built in the Jackson County Parks system, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony today Friday, Oct. 16, at 10 a.m.
Located at 3552 Rennau Drive in Lee's Summit, the new $407,820 facility features four pickleball courts that will be free and open to the public.
“Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and we're excited to bring it to Jackson County Parks,” said County Executive Phil LeVota. “My wife, Lanette, is an avid pickleball player, so I know firsthand how much people enjoy this sport. These courts are a great addition to our parks system and another way we're creating opportunities for residents to get outside, stay active, and have fun.”
Construction began in July 2026, with the project remaining on schedule and within budget. Jackson County Parks Superintendent of Park Operations Brian Welborn worked closely with project partners Tarkett Sports and US Engineering to complete the facility.
The Fleming Park location was selected for its convenient access from several major routes, including Interstate 470, U.S. Highway 40, Colbern Road, Todd George Road, and Highway 7.
