Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. has announced a new way to get active at Henry Maier Festival Park this spring and summer.

Through Memorial Day, open pickleball play is available at the Aurora Pavilion at Henry Maier Festival Park and… it's FREE!

Three courts will be open daily from dawn until dusk and will work on a first-come, first-served basis.

Players should enter through the Mid Gate at Henry Maier Festival Park and head to the south entrance of the Pavilion. Players should also bring their own paddles and balls.

Free instructor-led classes, hosted by Pickleball Kingdom, Prolite Sports, and TEAM LAMMI, will be offered on Saturday, May 24, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. All skill levels are invited.
