Town expands pickleball sessions after "overwhelming" demand

Georgian Bluffs is expanding their newly introduced local pickleball programs.

The expansion comes after what the township calls "overwhelming demand" following the recent launch of local pickleball sessions.

As of Monday, June 26, Georgian Bluffs will introduce extended hours and additional dates for drop-in pickleball sessions across all three arenas, which are the Kemble Arena, Kilsyth Arena and Shallow Lake Arena.

Below is the updated schedule for drop-in pickleball sessions:

• Mondays - Kemble Arena: 2 pm to 7 pm

• Tuesdays - Shallow Lake Arena: 2 pm to 7 pm

• Wednesdays - Kilsyth Arena: 2 pm to 7 pm

• Thursdays - Shallow Lake Arena: 10 am to 4 pm

• Fridays - Kemble Arena: 10 am to 4 pm

The participation fee remains at $3.00 per session and includes access to two dedicated pickleball courts. For those in need, we will provide beginner equipment such as paddles and balls.

For additional information, please visit www.georgianbluffs.ca/pickleball or attend one of the sessions.
