Our History:
In October 2015, without a known available place to play in Halton Hills, a group of Pickleball converts looked around for options of where to play this infectious game. We started by going to the Velodrome in Milton. By January 2016, PPG (Pickleball Players Group, now a non-profit group), had very productive discussions with The Town of Halton Hills and agreed to promote Pickleball in Halton Hills. Thanks to their assistance, and the support from the Georgetown Active Living Centre, indoor playing time was secured at the Alliance Church (8th Line) gymnasium in Georgetown where play continued until COVID-19 postponed indoor activities.
In May 2016, working with the Acton Active Living Centre, PPG started playing at the Acton Arena on Arena floor ‘A’ and marked out two Pickleball Courts with red tape. Before the season ended in late August, it became necessary to add 2 more courts due to the demand of playing time. After a very successful inaugural season in Acton, we expanded to 6 full-size courts on the Arena surface for the 2017 Summer season. Indoor play also continued on the Arena surface at Mold-Masters Sports Plex in Georgetown.
Play continued in Georgetown and Acton during 2018 and 2019, with facilities being used at a variety of locations. In 2020, play was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some locations were cancelled and most had some level of suspended play. The Board of Directors was diligent in finding available space, securing needed permits and assigned play at all facilities.
