Pickleball Open Play (Seniors 50+) is a recurring, drop-in recreational sports session designed specifically for older adults. Participants can enjoy casual matches in a welcoming environment without the pressure of a structured tournament. To join the game, players need to obtain a free Open Play Pass, which is available online through RecLink or at any city community center front desk. The program is designed for adults aged 50 and older, and there is no cost to participate. Ample parking is available on-site at the community center, and players should bring their own paddles and comfortable athletic shoes. This session makes a wonderful addition to your weekly calendar if you have visiting grandparents in town who want to stay active, or if you are looking to help your own parents connect with other seniors in the local community.
