Pickleball Comes to Woodland Park!

FWP is excited to announce that the Woodland Park Community Center will now be hosting Indoor Pickleball every Saturday from 10am-12pm on a trial basis.  The markings on the court aren’t quite perfect but it looks promising for now, and we know that the court is in the queue for resurfacing. FWP has purchased 8 new paddles and balls to help the program get started. Experienced in pickleball and interested in helping out? Please contact Board President Kelli Fereday.

HPARD has a good website on City of Houston pickleball courts – once we have established that people are showing up, our community center manager, Robert Messa, will ask to add Woodland Park.  Interestingly, there are no other community centers offering indoor pickleball on Saturdays! The site nicely describes the location of outdoor courts (something FWP is considering as a project) and whether they are shared with tennis or basketball or stand-alone. 

And, did you catch the news about the recent National Pickleball Tournament at Memorial Park? A first for Houston and recognition of the growing popularity of the sport in Houston and the nation.
