The growing sport of “pickleball” is a perfect fit to Lakewood as part of the city’s Active Plus fitness activities for older adults.
Pickleball mixes the concepts of badminton, ping pong and tennis. It’s played on a relatively small court, so lots of people around the country are finding that it provides fun and physical activity but without the wear-and-tear of other sports.
Watch this short video about pickleball from CityTV.
There’s no cost or obligation to try, and no need to call ahead or pre-register.
Nets are provided and while players are encouraged to bring their own paddles and balls, a limited number of paddles and balls are available for check out.
