Leesburg To Permanently Close Shuffleboard Courts November 7, Making Way for Tiny Homes

The city of Leesburg shuffleboard courts, located at 321 S. Palmetto Street, will formally close at 4:30 pm on Friday, November 7.

On August 25, the Leesburg City Commissioners voted 4-1 to donate the site where the courts are located to the Forward Paths Organization. Completion of the property transfer is expected to take several weeks. As a result, normal activities at the shuffleboard courts are being permitted until the end of business day on November 7. The facility will be permanently closed beyond that, as it will no longer be under the city’s ownership.

A notice advising the public of the closure has been posted at the site.

Forward Paths President Jacob Bonynge outlined the nonprofit’s plan.

“Our proposal is to build ten tiny homes there, each two-bedroom, one-bathroom homes.
