New Pickleball Facility For Downtown Brandon

Before I even start this story many of you may ask WHAT IS PICKLEBALL?

( from Wikipedia )

Pickleball is a racket or paddle sport in which two players (singles) or four players (doubles) use a smooth-faced paddle to hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball over a 34-inch-high (0.86 m) net until one side is unable to return the ball or commits a rule infraction. Pickleball is played indoors and outdoors. It was invented in 1965 as a children’s backyard game in the United States, on Bainbridge Island in Washington state. In 2022, pickleball was named the official state sport of Washington.^[1]

Local investors plus people from Saskatchewan have come up with an idea of having a large building downtown that will feature 14 Pickleball Courts.   One of the owners is Brandon based Concept Homes.

The City of Brandon gifted the landed to help drive and revitalise downtown with this idea.
