Pickleball Grows Like Cucumber Vines in Ontario

C

Armadale Community Centre


by Pickleball Promoter

New centres offering Pickleball to Ontario seniors are growing like cucumber vines in the middle of summer. I have had the pleasure of visiting two new programs in the last two weeks. Last week at Heydenshore Recreation Centre in Whitby and today, the Armadale Community Centre at 2401 Denison Street, on the southwest corner of McCowan Road and Denison Street, in Markham.


As you can see from the picture above, it is a beautiful complex at the south end of Markham. A Pickleball program was offered at Armadale a few years ago but did not catch on.
This time with the help of Tony Sequeira, the ambassador for the GTA, the program has grown since day one.
Each week a new player or two joins the group. There are 8 regular players and the group is only a few weeks old.
