As of Monday, June 26, Georgian Bluffs will introduce extended hours and additional dates for drop-in pickleball sessions across all three arenas, which are the Kemble Arena, Kilsyth Arena and Shallow Lake Arena.

Below is the updated schedule for drop-in pickleball sessions:

• Mondays - Kemble Arena: 2 pm to 7 pm

• Tuesdays - Shallow Lake Arena: 2 pm to 7 pm

• Wednesdays - Kilsyth Arena: 2 pm to 7 pm

• Thursdays - Shallow Lake Arena: 10 am to 4 pm

• Fridays - Kemble Arena: 10 am to 4 pm

The participation fee remains at $3.00 per session and includes access to two dedicated pickleball courts. For those in need, we will provide beginner equipment such as paddles and balls.
