Curling in Grimsby has roots as far back as 1908. The first known “rink” was a big wooden structure located on Elizabeth Street in the area approximating the entrance of the parking lot of today’s Giant Tiger Store. Curling enthusiasts had to rely on natural ice, straw brooms and mismatched stones.Many years later there was curling in the Niagara Packers building on Livingston Avenue; the venue was used for packing and storing fruit in the summer then skating and curling took place in the winter.
Perhaps the most captivating aspect of pickleball is its strong sense of community. The game’s inclusivity welcomes players of all ages and skill levels. It’s not uncommon to see grandparents, parents, and children all sharing the same court, enjoying a spirited game together. Pickleball has a unique way of bringing people together, fostering friendships, and building bonds through the shared joy of play.Pickleball at Grimsby Curling Club further enhances this sense of belonging, creating a tight-knit global community of enthusiasts.
