The tennis courts in Tarkio have recently been refinished and with that, so has the pickleball court. If you are interested in playing in a pickleball league, please meet at the court at 6:00 p.m. Monday, June 8. If you don’t know how to play, but want to, don’t worry. There are players who will teach you! The courts are located at the intersection of Hwy. 59 and Maple Street in Tarkio.

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the United States.

Pickleball attracts players for a number of reasons. In addition to promoting socialization and serving as a generally entertaining activity, pickleball offers a number of health benefits. Pickleball is a great cardiovascular workout and also helps to improve lung function and can strengthen the heart. Also, because pickleball is played on a smaller court than a regulation tennis court, it can be easier on players’ joints since it doesn’t require covering as much ground.
