Grateful that the majority of the weekend has been lovely, but sad that we need to postpone the Grand Opening of the Koenig Pickleball Courts.

Please join us on Tuesday, June 20th, from 6-8pm for the same fun and festivities!

Improvements can also be seen in players' blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and maximal oxygen uptake after playing an hour every other day for six weeks. Come join in on the fun with your neighbors while also getting healthier😀👍 See you at Koenig from 2-4pm this afternoon!

"Picklers" have grown 40% between 2019-21, partially due the low barrier of entry for players. This doesn't mean it's necessarily an easy task! Researchers have found that those playing Pickleball have a 14% higher heart rate on average than walking, burning 354 calories per hour

Created in 1965 by 3 dads in Washington,“Pickle” comes from the crew term “pickle boat”where a boat is filled w/ random rowers who aren’t racing competitively.This is an appropriate name for a mashup of other games! If ping-pong, badminton &tennis had a baby you’d get pickleball
