Albuquerque Parks and Recreation to Begin Offering Pickleball Lessons

Albuquerque, NM – The City of Albuquerque’s Parks and Recreation Department will for the first time offer pickleball lessons to Albuquerque residents beginning June 18, 2018 at the Manzano Mesa Pickleball Complex. Pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. The City of Albuquerque has dozens of public pickleball courts for everyone’s enjoyment.

“As part of our commitment to keeping kids engaged throughout the summer, we’re excited to announce the beginning of pickleball lessons in Albuquerque,” stated Mayor Keller. “This is a great opportunity for kids to learn a new sport and make some new friends in the process.”

Albuquerque residents can register for one of three sessions, which consist of 10 lessons over a two-week period. Lessons will be offered for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Class sizes will be limited to eight students per class, so residents are encouraged to register early to ensure their spot in the class.
