To meet steadily growing demand, the Northbrook Park District is expanding its indoor and outdoor pickleball offerings,
In the five years since the Northbrook Park District began offering pickleball, the program has grown tremendously in the wake of the sport’s boom in popularity, both locally and across the country. According to a news release, the demand is such that, most of the time, pickleball programs fill within hours of registration opening. “It’s been great to see such interest in this sport, and we have been committed to offering more and more opportunities for play,” Athletics Manager Meri Shea said.
” Northbrook resident Stuart Wagner has been a pickleball regular since he took a clinic in January 2020. He began playing outdoors with friends during the COVID-19 pandemic, and about a year-and-a-half later, he joined a league. He continues to play in leagues to this day, the release said. Pickleball is a great way to get a good workout while socializing and making new friends, Wagner said in the release. “The quality of the instructors has been very good and very reliable,” he said.
