Some Insights from City of Doral Residents about Pickleball & Paddle Sport

The 2023 APP Pickleball Participation report shows that 14% of Americans played pickleball at least once in the past 12 months and the numbers continue to grow. By opening pickleball courts in public parks, the city of Doral,  would not only cater to the demands of its residents but also attract pickleball enthusiasts from neighboring areas.

In  2019, Sarasota County hosted the USA Pickleball National Championships, which drew over 2,000 participants and generated over $3 millions in economic impact.

We understand that creating new facilities may require a financial investment, but we believe that by investing in pickleball facilities, the City of Doral will reap many benefits that will outweigh the financial investment. The creation of these courts will encourage residents to stay and play in the area, boosting the local economy and supporting local businesses. It will also provide a new and exciting recreational opportunity that will attract visitors from neighboring communities.

We urge the city of Doral to take note of the success stories of other Florida cities and open pickleball courts in public parks. Let's give our residents the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of this fantastic sport and make Doral an even more vibrant and active community.
