Report: Vail Daily reporter John LaConte talks with local pickleballers about the activity that’s been labeled “The fastest growing sport in America.” Pickleball players were recently gifted with four new courts at the Golden Peak tennis courts, confirming the growing interest in the sport in the Vail Valley. Over 50 locals, part time residents and visitors have participated in the drop in program offered every morning from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Golden Peak, and Avon has also built two dedicated drop-in courts, located adjacent to the Avon elementary school. Eagle-Vail recently striped two of their tennis courts, as well.
