Victoria Regional Pickleball Association reported a 300 per cent jump in membership since October 2021 with 680 members in July 2023. Today that membership is officially 870, president Connie McCann said courtside.
The three Beacon Hill Park courts took off "like a cannon ball" once they were created two-and-a-half years ago, after others in the area were closed to resolve noise impacts on neighbouring residents. It seemed an acknowledgement of the need by the city, McCann said, adding they included nice touches in signage and are considering more picnic tables in the area.
