PINNACLE REOPENS WITH NEW FLOORS AND COURTS

After a 5 day closure that turned into a 5 week closure Pinnacle Field House re-opened it's refurbished Courts.

2 New Courts were added, bringing the total to 8 Courts, all spaced and lined to Tournament Specifications and a new floor of a special rubberized paint was put on in layers, making the Courts ' State of the Art ' and so much easier on the knees, hips, and back .

A common area was added for waiting and viewing as well as storage area for pickleball bags. Additionally there are 2 change rooms available for anyone who is shy about using the ' Common ' Area to gear up !

All Players were excited to get back into ' The Swing of Things ' and with a few adaptions to their play to adjust to the different bounce on the new floor everyone was happy and full of praise.

Pinnacle is open 7 days a week, with open play from 8 am to 9:30 am Monday to Friday and Court Booking Play up until 9:30 pm the rest of the day. Saturday is Open Play from 8 am on until closing, and Sunday is Court Booking Play only .

Management and Staff at Pinnacle have done an excellent job in creating the vibrant playing space.
