The Lititz Borough Council meeting on September 30, 2025, unveiled exciting plans for enhancing community recreational facilities. A proposal was presented to reduce parking space on the east side of the main building to make way for two new pickleball courts and two bocce courts, alongside the reuse of an existing bocce court. This initiative aims to promote outdoor activities and foster community engagement.

The project includes a reconfiguration of the parking lots to accommodate the new courts, as well as updates to the existing sidewalk and trail network. A new sidewalk will connect the existing pavilion to the pickleball and bocce courts, improving accessibility for residents and visitors alike.

Importantly, the plan also focuses on environmental sustainability. The proposed changes will lead to a reduction in impervious surfaces on-site, which is beneficial for stormwater management. The council noted that the project would only require the replacement of one existing stormwater management pipe, indicating a thoughtful approach to managing water runoff without the need for additional facilities.

This development reflects the council's commitment to enhancing recreational opportunities while also considering environmental impacts. As the community looks forward to these improvements, residents can anticipate a more vibrant and active public space that encourages participation in sports and outdoor activities.
