Pickleball is America’s fastest-growing sport, and if I ever forget that fact, I merely have to open my window.
I happen to live a block from New York’s most popular ad hoc pickleball facility, a cement expanse in the heart of Williamsburg where locals thwack perforated balls back and forth at most waking hours of the week. The sport is now firmly intergenerational (and kind of cool), after years of mainly mattering to retirement communities.
Easy on the knees, dynamite for the heart and a great way to make/keep friends, pickleball has our full endorsement. It’s more than a fad — the sport’s even taking over empty brick and mortars, including highway-side Bed Bath & Beyonds.
