Get fit with pickleball fun

The pickleball trend is about to take off at Mount Warren Sports and Fitness Centre.

Pickleball is a fun game that blends elements of tennis, table tennis and badminton.

It is played with a slightly enlarged, short-handle racquet and a fluted ball that generally travels much slower than a tennis ball. The net is also lower than in tennis.

Lines for pickleball will be added to the Centre’s timber floor later this year, funded by the Division 12 Local Infrastructure Program.

Division 12 Councillor Karen Murphy says Mount Warren Sports and Fitness Centre caters for a range of indoor sports.

‘Courts can be hired to play sports including basketball, volleyball, netball, futsal, roller skating, badminton and soon pickleball,’ Cr Murphy says.

‘The facility also has a gym, café, meeting room, free parking and accessible changeroom facilities.

‘Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned player, give pickleball a go. It’s a fantastic way to have fun, and be part of our active community.’

Mount Warren Sports and Fitness Centre is at 2 Milne Street, Mount Warren Park. For more information, including operating hours, go to: loganleisurecentres.com.au
