Why Olive Branch Needs More Pickleball Courts

The popularity of pickleball in Olive Branch is exploding! Our existing courts are consistently booked, highlighting a critical need for expansion. This project isn't just about adding more courts; it's about fostering a vibrant community hub and boosting our local economy.

• Improved community health and wellness through increased physical activity: Pickleball is a fantastic form of exercise, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for residents of all ages and skill levels.
• Increased property values in surrounding areas: Investing in recreational facilities like pickleball courts often leads to increased property values in the neighborhood.
