FROM THE CEO
Welcome to the June / July issue of IN Peters Township magazine.
Families in Peters Township can enjoy an exciting summer filled with dozens of wonderful programs and activities. Starting on page 14, Peters Township Parks & Recreation offers a wide variety of summer programming for children, teens and adults, including day camps, Jump Start sports camps, one-day classes, fitness and recreation programs, outdoor concerts, movie nights, farmers markets, food truck events, and special community celebrations held at local parks and the Community Recreation Center.
In the South Hills, where summer recreation has traditionally meant golf, baseball and backyard barbecues, pickleball has carved out its own space— and then some! Community courts are buzzing from morning through dusk, and new venues are stepping in to meet the demand as the sport continues to outgrow existing spaces. Whether it’ s competitive league play or casual weekend matches, pickleball fever has officially arrived, transforming the south suburbs. See“ Pickleball Fever Hits the South Hills” on page 40. Wishing you a safe, happy, and memorable summer!
