A Big Dill In Cedar City

The pickleball courts at Bicentennial Park in Cedar City are now open. 

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America according to an article in Sports Illustrated. 

The game invented in 1965 in the Pacific Northwest grew even more during the beginning of the pandemic among players under 24. 

A 2022 article by CNN states that more than one million Americans have picked up pickleball in the last few years. 

Around the world, the International Federation of Pickleball counts 60 member countries as it comes closer to the criteria for becoming an Olympic sport. 

With the growth of the sport internationally and domestically it was only a matter of time before Cedar City built its own pickleball courts.
