Parham Bridges has installed 10 new pickleball courts. Parham Bridges Park has added ten new pickleball courts in 2025. Pickleball has taken the nation by storm. Pickleball has been the fastest growing sport in the United States for the last four years with an estimated $885 million dollars invested in courts nationwide. Last year, the LeFleur East Foundation unveiled a master plan for Parham Bridges Park and has since made improvements that include transforming some of the tennis courts into pickleball courts and cutting down trees that needed it. Some tennis courts are being resurfaced and new wind shields. A three-hole, mini golf course that will be free to play is also expected to be built at Parham Bridges Park in northeast Jackson.
