Indoor pickleball courts open at Brush Factory on Kings

The Brush Factory on Kings has added indoor recreation to its mix of merchants and artists at 830 Kings Highway.

Pickleball sessions start at 9 a.m., and run through afternoon and evening hours, seven days a week.

First-time player introductory courses, together with lessons and clinics, will be part of ongoing programming. Court prices are $9 for a single session, or five sessions for $40 with a session card available for purchase at The Brush Factory.
