Aiken Pickleball News
New outdoor pickleball courts are now available to the public at Eustis Park (located on Edgefield Ave., N.W, between Morgan Street, NW and Church Street NW.) There are 4 purpose built courts there and they are open during park hours (dawn to dusk). There are two courts available (multi-purpose) at Kalmia Hills (Westcliff) Park (3311 Summit Drive). These two courts are superimposed on the two tennis courts. The height of the net (34 " in the center) for pickleball may be achieved by sliding the strap in the middle of the tennis net to the right or left until the desired height is achieved. There are no lights at this park so play is during daylight only. Neither location presently provides paddles or balls so bring your own.

Nancy Racki shared the following link to a good video on the proper way to pack a net into the bag provided.
Let's all give it a try. It will probably save some wear and tear on our equipment!
Thanks, Nancy!
Ron Nelson enjoyed some lively pickleball today with his son (Ron) and his grandson (Ron). Since there is not yet an R4 on the court, Dick Keeler filled in as the fourth.
