Lake Front Park Tennis & Pickleball Program
Tennis and Pickleball Lessons at the Lake Front Park!
Tennis and Pickleball lessons are returning to Lake Front Park for 2025! Head
Tennis Instructor Laura Digan back for her fourth year running the Lake Front Park Tennis and
Pickleball Program. This Fall John Wilson will be joining the team as Head Pickleball Instructor. John is a retired Grosse Pointe South Biology teacher who taught there for 25 years. He was formerly a racquetball enthusiast who later found his calling during the Pickleball craze. He is an Ambassador for the USPA (U.S.Pickleball Association) and teaches Pickleball at the Macomb and Shelby Township Racquet Centers. We are excited to have John lead our Pickleball program this Fall.
Since spring of 2021, this popular addition to the parks and recreation
program has grown to welcome all skill levels and ages. Each year, we see
many smiling returning faces and watch community friendships continue to
grow. This program is for anyone looking to stay fit, learn new skills, train for a
middle or high school team, enjoy the fresh air outdoors or make new friends
all at our beautiful court facility at Lake Front Park. Please review our course
selection online and join us on the court.
Tennis lessons are offered to various age groups and skill levels from
beginner to advanced. The program goal is to provide an organized
recreational and social environment while encouraging students to play tennis
with good sportsmanship.
Pickleball is a fast-growing family minded sport built for people of all ages and
skill levels. Whether you’re interested in learning how to play or looking to
improve your skills, we encourage you to sign up for our classes. The program
goal is to teach how to hit the ball properly and understand rules of the game.
