PLAY PICKLEBALL AT THE YMCA

A mix of tennis and ping pong, pickleball is taking the country by storm and is a great pastime for all ages! The 18th St. YMCA has pickleball lines on the tennis courts for members to use whenever the courts are available.

All ages and skill levels are welcome to play and the game is easy to learn! Pickleball is free for members to play at the YMCA and non-members can purchase a day pass or a pickleball membership to play.
