It’s crunch time for pickleball in New York and nationally, as more players than ever flock to the quirky court sport and property owners take notice.
The racket game was dubbed the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, with the number of players older than 6 years old growing from 4.8 million in 2022 to 8.9 million in 2023. Courts have cropped up nationwide, from Central Park to South Boston to the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Everyone, their mother and even their grandmother seems to be playing. And before long, you might be too.
