Pickleball is thriving in Penticton, and the Penticton Pickleball Club is leading the charge with plans to expand facilities to meet the rising demand for the sport. In collaboration with the City of Penticton, the club has announced the construction of two new pickleball courts at Robinson Park, set for completion by spring 2025. Additionally, four new public courts are scheduled to open at Skaha Lake Park by the end of the same year.
Both projects will be partially funded by the Penticton Pickleball Club, a non-profit organization committed to growing the sport’s presence in the community.
Expanding Opportunities at Robinson Park
For the members of the Penticton Pickleball Club, the development of these new courts is a welcome addition. Robinson Park, in particular, will see two new courts added, increasing access for players of all skill levels.
“The addition of two new courts at Robinson Park is an exciting step for our club.” said Ronna Pearson, president of the Penticton Pickleball Club, which currently has over 460 members.
