Sunriver Resort unveils new pickleball courts with grand opening celebration on National Pickleball Day

SUNRIVER, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Sunriver Resort is excited to announce the grand opening of its outdoor pickleball complex and its first 10 courts, set for Tuesday, which also happens to be National Pickleball Day.

The grand opening event is open to the public and runs from 8am - 6pm and includes: a mixer from 8 - 10am, round robin games from 10am - 12pm, open play from 12 - 4pm, and another mixer from 4 - 6pm, plus food and drinks, raffle prizes and more. All new members who join and pay an initiation fee that day will receive a complimentary paddle. There will be four open courts throughout the day for first-come, first-served drop-in play.
