Pickleball has exploded in popularity in recent years, becoming one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States. Blending elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, the game is easy to learn, accessible to all ages, and played on smaller courts—making it perfect for both casual players and competitive athletes.
Vincennes Park & Recreation department, partnering with the local Pickleball Club, has responded to the rising demand by installing courts at both Gregg Park and Chicago Park.
The Rainbow Beach Family Aquatic Center, nestled within historic Gregg Park at 2204 Washington Ave., Vincennes, IN, is a beloved summertime destination offering family-friendly water fun.
Originally built in 1937 as a WPA project to improve public safety and morale, Rainbow Beach became Indiana’s largest and oldest public pool. The name and iconic features stemmed from its famous light-and-water “rainbow” tower and sandy entry. In the 1970s and again in 2014, it underwent major renovations—replacing sand with lap lanes, adding new pools, slides, splash pads, and modern amenities—funded through community bonds and grassroots support.
Rainbow Beach is open seasonally from Memorial Day weekend until the first weekend of August.
