Bailey pickleball complex official grand opening Oct. 2

Last Updated: October 1, 2025By Tags: , ,

Oct. 1. The wait is over, again, for Lake Norman pickleball players, who will finally gain access to the brand-new, 10-court pickleball complex at Bailey Road Park tomorrow after last weekend’s grand opening was rained out.

Cornelius Parks and Recreation will hold a grand opening ceremony tomorrow morning to officially open the facility. The event begins at 10:00 a.m. and is expected to be attended by town staff, elected officials and members of local pickleball organizations, including Lake Norman Pickleball, which will manage the complex under a new partnership with the town.

The new 12-court tennis complex at Bailey Road Park will have its official opening ceremony Oct. 21.

Together, the 12 lighted tennis courts and 10 lighted pickleball courts make Bailey Road Park one of the largest collections of courts in the Charlotte area.

The town of Cornelius contributed $2.5 million of the $3.4 million cost to build the Bailey Road Court Complex. The remainder came from grants, fees and donations.

    This is awesome for our town!!
    Now, just stop the over-building of buildings, condos, houses, permitting the building of structures right up to the street, forever preventing the road expansion for the over-population being permitted as on Catawba Ave. across from Smithville Park…. Try planning & implementing proper & accommodating infrastructure before approving buildings buildings buildings!!
    You’re ruining this town & its communities.
    Just because there’s grass & dirt & trees, doesn’t mean a building should immediately replace it!!
    Does no one have a vision of quality of life beyond the almighty dollar??
