No matter which part of town you live in, you can play pickleball close to home.
Pickleball has definitely taken hold in Morgantown. These days, we can play indoors or outdoors just about any time we want on more than 20 courts. It’ll soon be easier still, with another 10 courts opening at two locations in August and even more in a new location next year.
There’s pickleball instruction and tournament play, too. Mylan Park offers private and group pickleball clinics, pickleball leagues, and a youth pickleball camp taking place mornings this July 15–19 and will host the second annual West Virginia Pickleball Championship in September.
Here’s a rundown of the courts operating across town this summer and the new ones in planning and construction now.
