It was a surprise to see the colorful banner promoting the availability of pickleball courts hanging on Second Church’s grand entry at the corner of Westminster & Taylor Tuesday. The courts are located in the gym on the church’s 4th floor, which has in prior years been used for basketball and volleyball games. Now the church has created two pickleball courts in the recently refurbished space and is offering them to the neighborhood for use from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday evenings.
I reached out to Office Manager Paula Trautman who said there is no charge and no need for pre-registration to use the courts. Access to the elevator, which takes you to the 4th floor, is via the entry from the parking lot on the west side of the church. Paula added: “We look forward to having the neighbors enjoy using the courts.” Given the popularity of the game, I’m sure neighbors will be thrilled to know of this opportunity too.
Second Church, 4501 Westminster, Pickleball courts open Tuesdays from 6:30 to 9.
