Camden indoor pickleball courts open Friday and Saturday. Two courts available now. 3rd one coming soon!
Outdoor courts are in the works, we will announce once they are ready.
Severe storms have caused power outages across Ouachita County overnight, with nearly 2,000 customers without power.
Treat all downed utility lines as live electrical lines, unless directly informed otherwise by a utility representative. Use caution if clearing downed trees or limbs, making sure that no utility lines are entangled in the branches.
If you use a portable generator for electricity, be sure it is not used indoors, and is located outside in a well-ventilated area. Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that can cause death in even low amounts.
Camden's indoor pickleball courts open next week! We are excited for the opening and look forward to also having outdoor courts open soon.
