Where To Play Pickleball In Delaware
Pickleball, an evergrowing activity that got its start in mostly retirement communities and Florida, is taking the nation by storm. Glasgow Park hosts New Castle County’s newest Pickleball courts but there are many other places to play.
The Diamond State Pickleball Club is a great way to get started. Yearly dues are only $24 and you can learn all the rules of the game. Don’t worry, you most likely won’t be the youngest or oldest player as they’ve had anyone from ages 8-80 participate. Check out their website for more information on rules, times and meeting places.
