Safety Harbor's pickleball courts under construction at Marshall Street Park will be named in honor of Sidney "Sid" Boughton, a Safety Harbor champion pickleball player who recently died.

Commission received a petition signed by 74 residents in favor of the naming, and heard from Boughton's former pickleball partner before voted unanimously in favor of the idea, followed by applause from a large contingent of Boughton's friends.
