THUNDER BAY — With the popularity of pickleball on the rise, a local group is looking to give the game a home base in Northwood.
Club leaders argued a scarcity of indoor and outdoor venues is hindering the growth of the sport, which combines aspects of tennis, badminton, and ping pong on a surface roughly half the size of a tennis court. A planned tennis bubble at Chapples Park will include a flexible oversized court that can be converted into four pickleball courts, but those will be available only for daytime use, Wabinski told council.
The club currently provides play opportunities at three indoor locations and one outdoor location, but none are dedicated to pickleball, leaving availability only in off-hours, they said. Parks staff told council they had been contemplating opportunities for a similar set-up in the city’s south end, before being approached by the pickleball club with a vision for a central location.
