I grew up in Prince William County and still have many family and friends that I visit on a regular basis. Having recreational facilities to support sports and fitness that multiple age groups and genders can share is a tremendous benefit to all residents and their families and friends. With the baby boomer generation now exploding onto the retirement scene, it is important to find recreational activities that everyone can participate with. Pickleball offers these benefits, does not require a significant amount of time or money (such as golf or tennis) and can be played indoors and outdoors. It is also a great workout and simply fun. I highly encourage PW County to consider researching and expanding Pickleball facilities throughout the county, both indoors and out. The overall health benefits are a significant return-on-investment that reaches far beyond the Pickleball venues!
