"The City of White Rock has approved the construction of 4 dedicated courts in the north-west corner of the courts at Centennial Park in White Rock. So that means that next year, 4 permanent nets & posts will be installed at Centennial Park! (The second shared court will continue with portable nets and pickleball priority from 9-3 p.m., with shared usage with tennis outside of those hours)." Walter Knecht, President of PICKLEBALLBC today announced:
"After a period of incubation PICKLEBALLBC is rolling out two grant programs. First is one aimed at the youth sector, primarily under the age of 18. The other is to benefit a more seasoned demographic that may be struggling getting pickleball established. Additional details can be found here.
