Pickleball is a game similar to tennis, badminton, and ping pong, and one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S. It is played on a regulation badminton court using tennis net, a plastic ball, and large paddles that look like oversized ping pong paddles. Since the sport’s popularity is surging, adding pickleball facilities could be a competitive advantage for senior living community providers courting tenants. Pickleball combines elements of tennis, ping pong, and badminton.
