Regina Rainy Day Spot: Pickleball Fun at Avana Centre š§ļøš
Lately, Regina feels like itās under a rainy spellārain every weekend! But when the weather keeps you indoors, thereās no better plan than ditching the daily grind (hello, girlsā day out!) and hitting the court for a lively game of pickleball with friends. š The venue? Right next to the Avana Centre, and itās a pickleball paradise! š There are 12 courts ready for action, so youāre never short of space to play. For non-members, entry is $15 per person for 2 hours (with a minimum booking of 1 hour, and courts are unassignedājust grab an open spot!). If youāre coming with a group, booking a private court is a steal: $60 for 2 hours, and splitting it with 4 people makes it super budget-friendly. š° We were shocked to walk in and find the place almost fullāwho knew pickleball was this popular here? š² The vibe was electric, and we noticed most players were 55+, which totally makes senseāthis sport is perfectly senior-friendly! Easy to learn, low-impact, and tons of funāno wonder itās a hit with the older crowd. šµš“ Fun fact: Most outdoor pickleball courts actually share space with tennis courts, just with smaller nets added! š¾ I even called the Fieldhouse once to ask if we could rent a tennis court for pickleball, but they said noāturns out, their tennis courts are barely used in summer anyway, since everyone prefers free outdoor spots. No worries thoughāAvana Centreās indoor courts are way cozier, especially on rainy days! ā After two hours of playing, I was hookedāthis sport is so addictive! ā” The pace is just right, the workout is perfect, and unlike badminton (which leaves me wiped!), I could still walk out standing tall after two hours. No sore muscles, just big smiles and a little sweatāideal! š¦ If youāre stuck indoors on a rainy Regina weekend, do yourself a favor: gather friends, head to Avana Centre, and give pickleball a try. Itās the ultimate way to beat the rain blues! š #ReginaRainyDays #PickleballFun #AvanaCentre #CanadaLife #RainyDayActivities #ReginaSpots #FunWithFriends #SeniorFriendlySports #IndoorFun šš§ļøšāØ
