"I have been so amazed and grateful for the generosity of our community who have come together to make this moment possible. We're honored to open a  pickleball center that, in addition to all of the other improvements we are making, solidifies our place as Maine's premier sports and recreation facility," says Grace Chen, Executive Director, in the news release.
