Drop In Pickleball at MLMRC 2

Pickleball

If you have not yet heard of pickleball, it is about time that you do! This paddleball game has interested people for over 20 years, and it is played similar to tennis and badminton. What makes pickleball different from badminton or tennis is that instead of using a racket, you use a wooden paddle to hit the ball back and forth. The gymnasium can accommodate multiple nets simultaneously. At the MLM Recreation Center, pickleball is a growing co-ed participant sport and all ages are welcome!

Pickleball Hours:

  • Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 6am - 2:30pm
  • Tuesday and Thursday: 1 - 8:30pm
  • Saturday: 8am - 1:00pm
  • Sunday: 9am - 12:30pm
