 Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is estimated that 2 million Americans play the game, and its popularity is growing, especially among seniors.  Two-thirds of all pickleball players are over the age of 60, and it is a popular event with local seniors as well as with participants in the Tennessee Senior Olympics.

Williamson County Parks and Recreation is a public organization, here to benefit the community.  Anyone may register for and participate in the department’s programs, teams, classes and events.
