Dear Pickleball Canada,

Passion for pickleball is sweeping across the
Midland Ontario area (population 40,000).

If you’re a fan of tennis, badminton, or ping
pong, you might want to check out pickleball,
which has gained in popularity over the past few
years. Players love the exercise and camaraderie
of pickleball, which you can play for fun or
competition. It is additive.

What is pickleball? A game for all ages, builds and
abilities. A combination of tennis, badminton and
ping pong. It is the fastest growing sport in North
America. You can play pickleball seven days a week
in the Midland area, often twice in a day. You can
play indoors at the Midland Area Pickleball Club,
Askennonia Senor Center, and the Midland YMCA.

With summer coming, many can’t wait for outdoor
pickleball. You can play outdoors at four avant-
guard courts are at Tiffin Park, Midland, and four
new outdoor courts are planned for McGuire
Park in Penetanguishene. You can also play at the
Perkinsville Rink in Tiny Township and Elmvale.
