I never go to that side anymore, so I don't know if they're still popular like they were. I liked the area better when it was just open grassland, but it was technically part of the park & apparently people wanted pickleball.

From the article:

>The game started as a low-impact version of tennis ideal for seniors and others with mobility issues or higher risk of injury. <

Lochloosa FTW

cranky old people!

There’s actually an indoor set of pickleball courts in my area and since it’s near the pet food store I drive by it occasionally. Never see more than a few cars there.

aching knees, ankles, and doctor visits!

Not sure 🤔 I know what it is? Why Pickle? Seems strange. Adults throwing pickles at each other, maybe? Guess the craze is over. I missed it without even knowing what it was. Why was it noisy?

riding group that played pickleball were wearing boots from pb injuries.

peanut butter instead of pickleball my eyes and brain automatically translated to peanut butter! Ha ha heh. Thanks for the laugh though!!

and breathing hard they found something else to do.

I am an old racketball player. there was a time the courts were all booked up. Lasted about a year or two. Then folks disappeared about as quickly as they came.

There is a converted tennis court at a tiny park close to me. It has players every single day.

On the weekends, it looks like they are holding tournaments. They have freaking spectators, for freak's sake!

It isn't dead here, but anyone who was thinking it was going to be added to the Olympics and stuff was just being delusional.

It was a fad. Like all fads, it had an 'in' time, and now that time is gone.

People finally stopped asking me to join up when they realized i wasn't going to budge from my house!
