Agreement benefits players, the Hinsdale Park District and the HPTA!
The Village of Hinsdale (“VOH”) and the HPTA (“Hinsdale Paddle”) have reached an agreement whereby the HPTA will manage all paddle functions at KLM and Burns effective July 1, 2019. This is an exciting change for Hinsdale Paddle, and should solidify its status as the premier public program in the Chicagoland area.
The agreement provides a funding framework that will allow for the complete renovation and expansion of the KLM Paddle Hut facility beginning in spring 2020, as well as continued improvements to the courts at KLM and Burns Park. The agreement will allow the HPTA to expand the programs and training it offers to its members while keeping membership costs inline with previous years. For Hinsdale Park district, the agreement will allow it to re-direct financial and manpower resources towards other priorities.
