Pickleball is a fun indoor or outdoor racket/paddle sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It is one of the fastest growing sports in America. Pickleball is fun, social, and friendly. The rules are simple and easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game.
The Palm Bay Recreation Department now offers both indoor and outdoor opportunities for citizens to play pickleball. For more information on playing pickleball in the City of Palm Bay, call the Ted Whitlock Community Center at (321) 952-3231 or the Tony Rosa Community Center at (321) 952-3443.
