Pickleball is a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net, a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. In partnership with the North Durham Pickleball Club, the Community Services staff offers a drop-in program from September to May each year at the Scugog Community Recreation Centre.
