Sometimes you are looking for a place to go out for a few hours that is not too taxing on you or the person you are caring for. Or maybe you’re looking for a place to take a friend who needs a little cheer or a parent who wants to spend some one-on-one time with you. We pulled together a list of some of our tried and true local places.
People of any age can enjoy pickleball, so a lesson or a drop-in clinic might be a fun, active way to enjoy some time with a friend. There are many new pickleball clubs around the area. One example is the Genesis Blairwood club, which has a weekly clinic that covers a different skill of the game in each class. 502-426-8820, blairwood.com
