Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, and the Bay Area is joining the fray, with some of the newest indoor courts now open at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
The San Francisco Rec and Park Department is addressing that demand with additional courts throughout the city. It even offers free 90-minute sessions 9:30-11 a.m. Tuesday-Sunday, with signups on its website.
A couple of reasons why pickelball is popular is players from all age groups can play; all socioeconomic groups are able to play since it has a low cost barrier; it provides a good physical workout; and it offers a social aspect -- the potential for new friendships."Our whole family plays," Grace Kwan said."Our son is in New York. He plays at Central Park, and our youngest is in SoCal.
Bethany Kwan added:"I don't have a lot of hand-eye coordination, but I still feel kind of adequate when I play, and I think people who play are generally pretty friendly." While some pickleball courts are open play, meaning you can just show up and play with people you just met, courts at the Palace of Fine Arts are reservation only.This article tagged under:
