The YMCA in Red Bank held its grand opening of six new outdoor pickle ball courts Friday.
Pickle ball is a racquet sport that combines aspects of badminton, tennis and table tennis.
Barry Martin, vice president of the Red Bank YMCA, says pickle ball was created in Washington state by a family who was trying to create a game for themselves to play.
"It has taken off across the country," Martin said. "People are playing it in every state in the union."
