Do you have any additional comments or suggestions to help Montgomery Parks and Montgomery County Recreation staff plan for the County's future parks, recreational facilities or programs?
Pickleball is growing fast, and more dedicated courts are needed to accommodate more players. Compared to tennis, pickeball is safer and less prone to injury. Pickeball courts fit in a smaller area, and all you need to play are shoes and a paddle. It's a lot cheaper than tennis, and therefore accessible to more people.
