What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis. The game is played on a badminton size court with a whiffle ball, about the size of a tennis ball; and a solid smooth surface, short handled paddle larger than a ping pong paddle. The game is easy to learn and you do not have to be a great athlete to play.
Where Can I Play in The Blue Mountains?
The Town has four outdoor courts at the Municipal Recreation Complex. Indoor Pickleball is available at the Beaver Valley Community Centre year-round and on the arena floor during the summer.
There are a number of independent Pickleball groups offering programs out of the Beaver Valley Community Centre (Large Hall) in Thornbury.
