Pickleball is taking Salt Lake City by storm.
The big picture: Cities can't build pickleball courts fast enough for the nation's fastest-growing sport, and national chains are looking to capitalize on the craze.
What they're saying: "Our courts are very full," Salt Lake City Public Lands spokesperson Mia McCain told KSL.com. "People are very, very interested in pickleball and they are looking for places to play."
The latest: The demand explains why the city's parks division plans to add 18 new pickleball courts over the next two years that will be sprinkled across the west side, per KSL.com.
