What to Expect

The newest dedicated pickleball courts on island. The courts are in great shape and have nice new nets and fencing. It is next to the Skyline so there is lots of noise from the rail passing over and the highway above. It is downwind from a transfer station so it can have a smell. On windy days, games are harder to play due to it’s location at an open park next to a body of water.
