What is pickleball? Where can I play it?
Pickleball has been growing in popularity since it was invented in the 1960’s, and with good reason! It’s a fun, social sport that almost anyone of any age can play. It has roots in tennis, but is played with a rigid flat paddle and a hard hollow ball with holes. While it is a competitive sport played as singles or doubles, the volleys move a bit slower than tennis making it a family-friendly pass time.
There are almost 5 million Pickleball players in the US according to the 2022 Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) Single Sport Report on Pickleball, with 3.5 million calling themselves casual players (1-7 games per year). So, whether you’re looking to join a competitive team or simply get some exercise, you can get court time at these park locations around Austin.
