Peterborough Pickleball Association looking for 20 additional courts throughout the area

Pickleball players are looking to the city to put in 20 more courts to keep up with the sports growing popularity.

The newly formed Peterborough Pickleball Association will be meeting with the Arenas, Parks and Recreation Committee next week.

Tom Reburn is with the association and says the sport is great for both older and younger age groups.

Reburn adds that part of the lure of the sport is the social side.

Reburn says by building new courts, Peterborough could host major tournaments which bring in millions of dollars worth of economic spinoff.
