Pickleball is a game similar to tennis, but played on a smaller court with a racket much like an oversized ping-pong paddle. Due to the rising popularity of the sport in our region, Kingsport converted two tennis courts at Riverview Park into six pickleball courts last year and added two new courts earlier this year.
