Game On! Indoor pickleball launches in Fruitvale

The ice is gone, the nets are up, and a new game is on.

For the first time ever, pickleball is hitting the indoor courts at the Beaver Valley Arena in Fruitvale – transforming the rink into a four-court pickleball paradise from June 2 to August 1, Monday to Friday, 7am to 3pm.

“Pickleball has exploded in popularity across the country, and we’re thrilled to now offer more options for players here in the Beaver Valley,” said Mark Daines, RDKB’s Manager of Facilities and Recreation.

“Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just paddle-curious, this new indoor setup gives folks another way to stay active, social, and have fun – rain or shine!”

The arena addition complements the outdoor regulation pickleball court at Beaver Valley Family Park, which opened in 2022 and continues to serve up fun for all ages.

“Having both indoor and outdoor options now means even more people can discover why this sport has become the fastest-growing in North America,” added Ali Grieve, Director of Electoral Area A and Chair of the Beaver Valley Recreation Committee.

“It’s low-impact, incredibly social, and anyone can play – that’s what makes it such a perfect fit for our community.”

Indoor pickleball at the Beaver Valley Arena is first-come, first-served, with drop-in passes just $5 or a season pass for $40 (cash or cheque only). Court time is limited to 3 games if others are waiting, and court shoes are recommended. No pets, food, glass, or alcohol allowed – just good vibes and great rallies.

To register, simply check in at the arena and get ready to serve, volley, and laugh your way through the summer. Equipment not provided – but fun definitely is.
