Pickleball (new!)

Mon., Wed.& Fri., 7:30–10 a.m.
Williston Fitness Center 14509 Minnetonka Drive

Pickleball uses a plastic ball and a wooden racket slightly larger than a ping pong paddle and is played on a court roughly half the size of a tennis court. Two pickleball courts, striped onto the basketball court area, are available at the Williston Fitness Center. This is not a league – come when you wish, with no advanced sign up. Rackets are provided for you to try the game. Try this activity for some winter exercise. Volunteers will teach you the rules and how to play the game.

Cost: Free for Williston or Silver Sneakers Members. Non-members: $4 per session (includes use of locker room and shower).

For Minnetonka senior residents, the monthly Williston Center membership rate is $25. With most health insurance companies giving discounts on health club memberships if you attend at least 12 times a month, the cost is reduced even more.
