Residents and Beachwood Community Services Patrons, As we welcome the warmer months, I am excited to share some fantastic recreational opportunities and community programs available this spring and summer. Beachwood continues to grow as a vibrant, active, and engaged community, and I encourage all residents to take advantage of the diverse offerings in this season’s recreation guide. For our pickleball enthusiasts, Bill Tennant is adding an advanced 401-level pickleball class, allowing seasoned players to refine their skills further. The popular Paddle Up pickleball leagues will also be returning. We are also exploring adding a Teen Night on select Fridays. In response to concerns over pickleball court availability, our Community Services Department implemented YourCourts, an online reservation system and app exclusively for Beachwood residents. This user-friendly system has significantly improved access to our courts. The success of this initiative has even drawn attention from neighboring communities facing similar challenges. Last summer, in response to community feedback, we launched the Same-Gender Swimming Pilot Program, which received an overwhelmingly positive reception. As a result, we’ve established a regular schedule for same-gender swimming sessions, ensuring this inclusive opportunity remains available to those who wish to participate. We are also excited to announce the installation of new high-dive steps at our community pool, providing another layer of safety for our residents. National Night Out is an annual tradition, and while severe weather prevented us from holding the event last year, Beachwood Police Chief Dan Grispino is eager to help plan this summer’s event. This gathering is an excellent way for residents to connect with our officers in a positive, community-focused environment. In addition to these recreational opportunities, our Community Services Department is expanding its Meet & Eat programming to foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Some of the exciting themes include: The Health and Fitness Toolbox, Magic and Music, and a Murder-Mystery Lunch. I look forward to seeing you all around the city, whether on the pickleball courts, at the pool, or one of our many community events. Let’s make this spring and summer one to remember! Sincerely,
