Pickleball
Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Equipment consists of a wooden paddle, a polymer wiffle ball, and a net that sits four inches lower than a tennis net. A Pickleball court is half the size of a tennis court. The smaller area combined with the slower moving ball makes Pickleball much easier to play.
Limited equipment available. Please see front desk or feel free to bring your own.
