On the hunt for the best pickleball courts in Toronto to get your game on?
Adam and I recently started playing pickleball, and we’ve been having so much fun trying out this new and wildly popular sport.
It’s sort of a combination between tennis and ping pong, and it’s even great for people who aren’t super athletic!
I’ve never been great at any sports, and it’s really cool seeing how quickly I’ve been able to improve with my hand-eye coordination by playing pickleball lol.
Here are some of the best pickleball courts to play at in Toronto!
Keep in mind that you’ll have to bring your own nets to some courts, and some courts are located on existing hockey rinks or tennis courts.
Be sure to also follow me on Instagram and TikTok – I share a lot more content on those platforms that don’t make it to the blog!
