MN Dedicated Pickleball Complex! "Not Bad For the Heart of the Snowbelt!"

noreply@blogger.com (Janet RaZz) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:46:00 +0000

USAPA e-pickleball news October 2011

By Jim Propes, USAPA Ambassador Woodbury and Eastern Minnesota

Not Bad For the Heart of the Snowbelt!

Woodbury MN recently opened a new six-court DEDICATED pickleball complex. This is the largest dedicated pickleball facility in the state and surrounding state area. Woodbury MN Parks and Recreation Dept. announced the opening of the new 6-court pickleball site located in Shawnee Park in August.

Woodbury previously had a single court in Marsh Creek Park in 2009, which it replaced in 2010 with two courts at the Pioneer Park tennis center. Due the growing popularity of the game among active seniors, the courts at Pioneer Park were unable to keep up with demand. The Woodbury Pickleball Club has approximately 80 active members and has scheduled play 7days a week: Monday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday at 4:00 pm. All other times the courts are open for drop-in play. Woodbury Parks and Recreation provides lessons twice a year, in the spring and fall at a nominal fee.

This new site joins two other newly dedicated pickleball sites in the twin cities area. Bloomington and Eden Prairie each have new four-court pickleball sites. In addition, there are dozens of sites shared with tennis facilities as well as shared indoor venues in recreation centers.

These fantastic results reflect great cooperative effort between the local pickleball players and the Parks & Rec Dept. Three dedicated multi-court sites plus numerous shared venues - not bad for the heart of the snowbelt!

We had our first Woodbury Pickleball Club tourney on the 15th of September and every court was filled.

This has really been fun!
