About the centre

During his tenure, he served as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1986 to 1993. His leadership coincided with a period of significant growth and development in Rockingham.

  • Pickleball is a fast-growing racket/paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. It's played either as singles (two players) or doubles (four players), with participants using solid paddles to hit a perforated hollow plastic ball over a net that is slightly lower than a tennis net.

    This exciting new sport is known for its accessbility and inclusivity, making it popular among players of all ages and skill levels. Its relatively low-impact nature makes it especially appealing to older adults, though it is becoming increasingly popular with younger players as well.

    The timetable below outlines the scheduled timeslots for pickleball at Mike Barnett Sports Complex. All players welcome, please wear sports attire and bring your own paddle if you have one.
