ROANOKE, Va. – Grab your paddles and hit the courts. Carilion Wellness Roanoke unveiled new pickleball courts at the location in Cave Spring on Wednesday.
The space is complete with new floors, nets and vibrant colors. The pickleball courts replace the old basketball courts.
“Pickleball has been a huge game-changer for us. It’s our members love it. They have fun with it. And the courts were always busy. So we decided it was time to give them official courts and have a legit playing area.”
The new courts feature a special gel layer to absorb impact, reducing the strain on joints.
The facility plans to offer lessons, clinics and future tournaments. The courts are exclusive to members, who can bring up to two guests.
