By GARY HENLEY
The Astorian
Pickleball is king among many recre-
ational enthusiasts on the North Coast. With
the coming of spring weather, pickleballers
will soon be taking to the outdoor courts.
Pickleball is readily available indoors,
including at the Sunset Empire Park and
Recreation District gym in Seaside. The
gym is open on Mondays and Thursdays
from 9 to 11 a.m. Admission is $3 for those
who live in the Sunset Recreation Dis-
trict and $4 for all others. Discounts are
also available for those involved in senior
programs.
Gearhart features two outdoor courts at
Pacifi c Way and S. Marion Avenue, which
are both free and open to all. The Camp
Rilea gym in Warrenton also has courts
available on Wednesdays and Saturdays
from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. for a $3 playing
fee. No reservations are needed and all lev-
els are welcome, with friendly coaching
available. Loaner paddles and balls are also
provided.
