Pickleball for Seniors

Overview

Join the Cornelius PARC Department as we offer free play pickleball for adults ages 50 and up. This increasingly popular sport will be for beginner and intermediate players. It is a fun sport that will provide you with a great workout while also offering a very social and competitive game. 

We will have courts designated for beginners and for intermediate players.


Pickleball is played on a badminton court with the net lowered to 34 inches at the center. It is played with a perforated plastic baseball (similar to a whiffle ball) and wood or composite paddles. It is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. Read the Pickleball Rules.
