The plan to construct the first public facility in Columbus designed for the fastest-growing sport in the United States has changed. It’s pickleball, and a public-private partnership intended last year to build this project in the park at the Uptown Water Resources Facility, 1820 Third Ave., owned by the Columbus Water Works. But complications Columbus Pickleball Association President Lance Tankersley described as “a lot of red tape” prompted the group to look at other sites. Now, CPA has secured a different downtown property to build the facility. For $625,000, CPA bought from Mike Gill the property at 1641 Third Ave., which comprises a four-story warehouse on 1.98 acres, Tankersley told the Ledger-Enquirer.
