WHAT EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED?

Currently the nets for Pickleball are being stored at the Westgate Community Center. Please get in touch with the Hall Manager to get access to the nets.

We are in the process of making accesses cards available for purchase to existing Westgate Community Members. Passes will grant access to the storage/bathroom area for a 1 year time period and will be limited to use between 8am-10pm daily.

With regards to additional equipment players will need to purchase their own Pickleball paddle and ball(s). These are available at most sporting goods stores and places like Canadian Tire. Prices for paddles vary from $20-150.
