There will soon be another place to play pickleball this summer, for a limited time. Plus, it’s free and open to all skill levels.
The Ryder Hotel, Short Court, and Volley will present Wimbledon With A Wink, a pickleball experience in The Backyard at The Ryder Hotel (237 Meeting St.).
All players have to do is reserve their court time on Resy. Pro tip: Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis. To play, picklers can check in with the host at Little Palm, who will provide them with paddles and a ball, and then play for their one-hour time limit.
Want to learn from some pros? Pickleball pros Gaurav Kunwar and Sangram Kadam will be in The Backyard on the following dates:
