With 14 beautiful courts, Recreation Plantation has

With more than 100 acres, Recreation Plantation RV Resort has 1,079 sites

has always been booming. The region has grown pickleball so much that Gore
is looking to organize a local tournament in the near future.
“As the game continues to grow, we’ll be doing a lot
more. We’re open to participating in local tournament
play,” he says. “We already do that with softball and
golf. Why not pickleball?”

if they mention this article, they’ll get a free pickleball as
well, so they can start playing as soon as they arrive.”
