Drive around some Wichita parks on a day like Tuesday and you’ll find people enjoying the nice weather by playing pickleball. It’s a sport people like Patti Mackey love. “It all started, my husband was at the downtown Senior Center and he called me and he said, ‘Patti, there are some older people on this court with a little yellow ball and I just keep hearing, ping, ping, ping.'” Mackey is a volunteer ambassador for USA pickleball and was in the crowd Tuesday as the Wichita City Council voted 7-0 to put an additional $3.15 million towards its proposed pickleball complex at South Lakes Sports Complex.
