The Pickleball Court at Mike’s Forest Retreat
Blending light-hearted pace with forest-edge charm, the Pickleball Court at Mike’s Forest Retreat brings movement, joy, and quiet camaraderie.
The bounce is light, the rhythm quick,
And great joy arrives with every flick.
A Gentle Game, Played with Grace
The Pickleball Court at Mike’s Forest Retreat isn’t here to overwhelm—it’s here to invite. In a world rushing toward intensity, this game brings lightness, rhythm, and engagement with just the right dose of spirit.
Surrounded by trees and cooled by the breeze, the court becomes more than a playing surface. It’s a space to move, to laugh, to connect—without the sharp edge of competition. Whether played in pairs or simply practised solo, the joy lies in the motion, not the outcome.
A Rare Offering with a Growing Legacy
Still relatively new to many parts of India, pickleball blends the best of multiple racquet sports into one accessible, fast-paced game. At Mike’s Forest Retreat, we saw in it something deeper: a way to connect people across generations, abilities, and energies.
By introducing a court here, we aren’t just keeping up—we’re offering something thoughtful, inclusive, and quietly ahead of its time. It’s a subtle nod to the evolving ways in which people seek wellness, joy, and movement.
Blending Forest Calm with Friendly Motion
What makes our court unique isn’t just the sport—it’s where the sport is played. At Mike’s Forest Retreat, the pickleball court is tucked amid greenery, and set within an atmosphere of natural ease.
There’s no blaring music, no neon boards—just the clean bounce of the ball, the shuffle of steps, and the sound of laughter carried by the wind. It’s active without being noisy, energising without disruption, and always attuned to the slower soul of the retreat.
