Pickleball in Markham
Pickleball made its way to Canada in the late 1970s and early 1980s, gaining popularity as a recreational activity and a competitive sport. The sport’s expansion in Canada mirrored its growth in the United States, driven by its accessibility and appeal to a diverse range of players.
In the beginning, pickleball found a particularly receptive audience in retirement communities, community centers, and schools across the country. The sport’s adaptability to different age groups and skill levels contributed to its widespread adoption.
