Safari Island Community Center - Pickleball
Jump on the court, but stay out of ‘the kitchen’, in this easy-to-learn game that’s growing in popularity. What is Pickleball? It’s a combination of ping-pong, tennis, and badminton. Grab your sneakers, a friend, a paddle, and whiffle-ball-type balls and you’re ready to ‘dink’ your heart out. For those non-Pickleball players (don’t worry, you’ll be one soon) a ‘dink’ is a shot that your opponent can’t return.
