The Jasper City Council recently approved a project to build nine pickleball courts at Memorial Park. This is a welcome addition to the city, as pickleball is a growing sport that is enjoyed by people of all ages.
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is a relatively easy sport to learn, making it a great option for people of all fitness levels. Pickleball is also a low-impact sport, which makes it a good choice for people with joint pain or other health concerns.
In recent years, pickleball has seen a surge in popularity. In fact, the USA Pickleball Association estimates that there are over 4.1 million pickleball players in the United States. This popularity is due in part to the fact that pickleball is a fun and social sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
The addition of nine pickleball courts at Memorial Park will provide a much-needed space for pickleball players in Jasper. The courts will also be a great way to bring people together and promote physical activity in the community.
We applaud the Jasper City Council for approving this project. The new pickleball courts will be a valuable asset to the city and will help to make Jasper a more active and healthy community. Several other communities in Walker County are also either working on putting in pickleball courts in their parks system or talking about it.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, pickleball is also a great way to meet new people and make friends. The sport is very social, and players often form friendships on the courts. This is a great way to get involved in the community and meet people who share your interests.
If you’re looking for a new sport to try, we encourage you to give pickleball a shot. It’s a fun, easy-to-learn sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. And with the new pickleball courts coming soon to Jasper, you’ll have a great place to play.
So get out there and start playing pickleball! You won’t be disappointed. And there’s no better day than today to give it a try as it is National Pickleball Day.
