Give the game a public stage.
US Squash reported the launch of Project Beacon at Chicago’s Union Park on 16 May 2025. A public setting changes how people encounter the game.
A different point of discovery
The US Squash launch report describes a public squash court and identifies the organisations involved, including the PSA Foundation, US Squash and Chicago Park District. The source deserves the credit for the launch account.
A visible court can create curiosity beyond the existing squash community. Converting that curiosity into enjoyable repeat play still requires access information, equipment and programming.
What a future project should investigate
- How the court relates to the park’s other uses and existing community.
- Who takes responsibility for operating decisions and maintenance.
- How introductory sessions connect to regular participation.
- What evidence is collected after opening, beyond launch attendance.
A launch record, not live availability
The May 2025 report establishes a launch event. It does not establish today’s opening hours, booking arrangements or condition. Current operating information remains unconfirmed in this directory.
This is an international pioneer story, not an Outdoor Squash delivery claim.
