WBS Congratulates the U.S. Professional Squash Association Foundation on Project Beacon
6/6/2025
WBS would like to congratulate Arnie Dratt and the U.S. Professional Squash Association Foundation (US PSAF) in all their hard work to make the vision of Project Beacon a reality. Project Beacon is the very first publicly accessible outdoor squash court in the United States. Opening June 7th in Union Park, the court will offer Chicago residents the opportunity to play this exciting game in a public setting. The walls of the Beacon court will feature a rotating collection of art works by a wide variety of artists, ranging from professionals to children. WBS partners, David Williams (an avid squash player himself) and Andy Arons are very proud to have offered their counsel to the US PSAF in this endeavor. WBS congratulates the U.S. Professional Squash Association Foundation on bringing Project Beacon to life. Hopefully this is the first of many publicly available outdoor courts leading up to squash’s debut in the Olympics in ’28.
