The City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Department invites the community to the grand opening of new pickleball courts at French Park on Thursday.
As part of the French Park Improvement Project, the basketball court was converted into three dedicated pickleball courts, and the unused sand volleyball court was converted into a 72’ x 40’ basketball area.
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple, and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. The courts will be a turn-based, system, unless reserved by a permit, similar to tennis court reservations.
French Park is open dawn to dusk and is located in a residential area. It features 10 rolling acres with a variety of recreational amenities including a barbecue area, horseshoe pit, picnic tables, softball field, tennis courts, and more. To learn more about the amenities, click here.
