I’ve played tennis at Punch Park since moving to Balmain 20 years ago. Now pickleball’s taking off too, and the good news is our existing tennis courts can host both — just add pickleball line markings, as other parks worldwide have done successfully and cheaply.

This small change means big benefits: more people active, more social connection, and a park that works for tennis players and the growing pickleball community (especially popular with kids and older adults) alike — all at minimal cost.

Lend your voice to this cause by signing the petition to introduce multi-use pickleball and tennis courts at Punch Park Balmain. Let's work together to enrich our community park with facilities that cater to all. Your support can make a tangible difference in fostering a more active and inclusive community space.
