THE invitation was clear – ‘Bring your tennis shoes!’ The community of Glenwood showed up on Saturday, March 2, as the Windsor Tennis Club launched the opening of four pickleball courts. Pickleball is a fast paced and increasingly popular sport that is a unique combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis.

The day was filled with fun for the whole family, with food stalls, a flea market and music. Windsor Tennis Club, located in James Henderson Road, Glenwood, has been in operation since 1938. According to Lynn Grandemange, the president of the tennis club, “Windsor Tennis Club no longer plays any leagues – we only do social tennis. Due to vandalism in the area, we had to close Stella Tennis Club.
We do not want that to happen to Windsor Tennis Club. “We saw how popular pickleball has become in America and decided that we needed to convert our fourth court into four pickleball courts,” said Grandemange.
