Pickleball has taken the world by storm — silly name and all. More than 36.5 million people played pickleball from August 2021 to August 2022, according to a new report by the Association of Pickleball Professionals.

Some describe the game as a cross between tennis, ping pong and badminton, and most everyone who takes a swing at it calls it fun.

Seniors love that the game is a low-impact way to get active and make friends. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agrees that physical activity is essential for healthy aging.

So it was a no-brainer when the opportunity to support the world-class pickleball facility came along. Pictona at Holly Hill is located just minutes from our Holly Hill office location, and we’re thrilled to welcome the sport to our neighborhood.

Pictona at Holly Hill is a 49-court pickleball facility serving the greater Daytona Beach area. The facility features a championship court, restaurant, clubhouse, education center, gardens and bocce ball courts.

MetroHealth encourages our members to live an active, healthy lifestyle, and we hope to see you on the courts (or in the stands) at MetroHealth Stadium at Pictona at Holly Hill.
