Pickleball enthusiasts turn out as FSJ celebrates National Pickleball Day
The pickleball courts were full at Kin Park on Saturday afternoon as enthusiasts of the sport gathered to enjoy a game or two and celebrate National Pickleball Day.
The City of Fort St. John and Peace Country Pickleball Association were on hand at Kin Park to help anyone who wanted lessons, as well as hosting drop-in pickleball games.
For those who haven’t heard of pickleball, it’s a sport that was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, created with leftover equipment from wiffle ball, on a badminton court using paddleball paddles and a tennis-height net.
