Nashua Pickleball

Nashua Pickleball

Our northern neighbors have a great thing going both indoors and out. You'd be hard pressed to find courts this good in MA.
Four pickleball only courts outside with permanent nets (see below).

The photo is just a sampling of the many players who call Nashua home base. Doug Price, brother of our own Judy Forester is 2nd in from the right. Doug has been instrumental in getting pickleball started in Nashua.  



 I think a road trip may be necessary
