On Friday, Nov. 7, the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City celebrated the grand opening of four new pickleball courts at the YMCA Healthy Living Center, the MAPS 3 Senior Health & Wellness Center #4.
The YMCA Healthy Living Center is dedicated to fostering a healthy spirit, mind, and body for adults aged 50 and above. These outdoor courts will provide members with additional ways to connect, stay active and enjoy one of the fastest-growing sports.
“Pickleball has become a favorite activity among our members, and these new courts will allow even more people to experience the fun and fellowship of the game,” said Paul Urquhart, District Executive Director. “At the Y, we’re proud to offer areas that promote both physical wellness and community connection.”
With the YMCA Healthy Living Center located near the Earlywine Park YMCA in south Oklahoma City, which recently opened the Thurman Family Pickleball Center, these new courts will further expand the Y’s commitment to offering accessible recreation for all. Together, these spaces provide more opportunities for Oklahomans of all ages to learn, play and be part of the growing pickleball community.
