Pickleball is among the fastest-growing sports in the nation.

Thousand Oaks Family YMCA on Monday celebrated the opening of new pickleball and tennis courts.

With the expansion, the Northside location now has 10 permanent pickleball courts and eight tennis courts, according to YMCA officials. New pickleball leagues are slated to begin later this year.
