The Door County YMCA’s Jackie and Steve Kane Center in Fish Creek has reopened its outdoor pickleball courts following recent upgrades, just in time for expanded spring programming.

The courts officially reopened Monday, April 20, after being resurfaced and outfitted with new nets. The improvements aim to enhance play as the fast-growing sport continues to draw more participants across the community.

The reopening also coincides with the introduction of new parent-child open pickleball hours, scheduled for Thursday and Sunday afternoons. The designated times are intended for parents and children under 16, offering a more welcoming environment for families to learn and play together.

Josh Lardinois, the Fish Creek YMCA’s Member Experience Director, said the updates and new programming reflect the organization’s focus on accessibility and community engagement.

“We’re excited to offer a refreshed space and new opportunities for families to get involved,” Lardinois said. “Pickleball is a great way for parents and kids to stay active together, and these dedicated times help make that possible.”

YMCA officials expect the updated courts and added family programming to draw steady participation throughout the spring and summer as interest in pickleball continues to grow.
