Pickleball has been named the fastest-growing sport in the nation over the last two years, with 4.8 million Americans playing. The City of Cleveland is getting in on the action and using a huge under-utilized space to encourage more to play the game.
"You see this venue here, it seems to be screaming something to happen and pickleball was the idea," said Teeuwen. "We sent a note to all our friends who play pickleball to tell them to come on down, so it should be lots of fun," said Joanne Yarbrough."There's so much space, and it's great.""We don't want it to be too, too crowded, but we also don't want to charge too much money to be used so that's the real goal," Teeuwen added."We hope with people coming in here to play pickleball they might have some ideas for how they want to rent the space.
