Fort Myers, FL, Oct. 15, 2024 – The Lee Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to award a contract to expand the facilities of Rutenberg Park, 6500 South Pointe Blvd., to include eight lighted pickleball courts, a shade structure and more.

 

The $3.2 million contract with Stultz Inc. includes:

  • Eight lighted pickleball courts, four of which will be covered
