Three Pickleball courts are available to hire. The cost is £4 and includes paddles and balls. Come and give it a go; the equipment is available in the cafe.

What is pickleball?

Fast becoming one of the most popular racket sports in the world, pickleball combines some of the best elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis into a fun and exciting game for people of all ages and abilities.

Played on a court the same size as a badminton court – and using a shorter tennis-style net – players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another. You can play as both singles and doubles, and it’s a great way to exercise with friends and family or meet new people.

While there are many similarities with tennis, there are some key differences. For example, the ball has to bounce once on each side before you can volley and you can’t play volleys from inside the kitchen sink (a marked out area close to the net).
