About Support The Courts:

Support The Courts is a community-powered grassroots movement with one shared mission: rebuild and resurface the Village of Beulah’s courts for everyone who gathers by the lake.

STC is a growing team of civic-minded neighbors, local and visiting players, and dedicated supporters committed to finishing what we started—raising the remaining funds through monthly appeals and providing regular project updates to bring durable, safe courts to our community.

Our History

    Design & Engineering

    Design and engineering for the Village Park Pickleball Court are led by Gosling Czubak (GC) of Traverse City—an experienced firm with a strong track record supporting the Village of Beulah and delivering successful pickleball court projects across Northern Michigan.

    Based on current conditions, the existing court will be fully removed and rebuilt for long-term safety and durability:

    • Compacted aggregate base

    • Multi-layer asphalt leveling and surface courses

    • Acrylic playing surface

    All elements align with American Sports Builders Association recommendations.

    Court Features

    • Professional color coating

      • Green perimeter & kitchen (no-volley zone)

      • Blue backcourt playing areas

    • Permanent posts & net system

    • Courtside concrete seating pad

    Where Play, Connection, and Community Meet

    Help Rebuild Beulah Courts—Together

    Every gift helps transform worn asphalt into a vibrant gathering place—where friendships form, families connect, and community thrives.

  • EVERY DOLLAR UNLOCKED. EVERY GIFT MATTERED.

    We did it—together!

    It started with one Beulah family and an optimistic belief:

    “If others will join me, I’m willing to do more.”

    They committed a $10,000 pledged match—and our community responded, unlocking every dollar!

    THANK YOU to this generous family and to every donor who stepped forward. Every gift helped turn their pledge into reality.

    That’s generosity matching generosity—one gift inspiring another.

    And through those match-unlocking gifts, our donors spoke overwhelmingly clear:

    Revitalize the Village Park courts—rebuild pickleball and resurface tennis.

    We listened—and we’re honoring that intention.

    The Village Park pickleball court rebuild is already underway. Come by and check out the progress!

    That’s responsible stewardship: listen to our donors, honor what they championed, and show through action that their intentions—and trust—matter.

    Courts. Connection. Community.

  • Let’s rally together — rebuild, revitalize, and keep connecting lakeside.

Founding Supporters

(2022 - October 2025)

Founding Supporters are the early believers who stepped forward when the need first emerged. Beginning in 2022, their collective generosity, culminating $40,000 in early contributions—sparked what would become Support the Courts (STC): Act II and made this community-powered movement possible. Their leadership giving created momentum, inspired broader participation, and laid the groundwork for the progress we celebrate today. We honor these supporters with deep appreciation for helping turn vision into action.

Where Play, Connection, and Community meet Gratitude

This project exists because of neighbors and visitors who care. We gratefully acknowledge the donors, advocates, and volunteers who have supported the ongoing effort to rebuild and revitalize the Beulah Courts. Their generosity and encouragement have laid the foundation for Phase 1 in 2026, with additional phases to follow as funds become available. If you are considering getting involved, we encourage you to reach out to any of the individuals listed here. Their participation reflects the fellowship, stewardship, and community spirit behind this initiative.

Thank you for being part of what makes Beulah a place to gather, play, and connect.
