Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports both in Montgomery County, and nationally. Pickleball is a fun, fast-paced, but low-impact sport that is a combination of several classic games – badminton, tennis, and table tennis.

The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Montgomery Parks issued a warning today about “Critters in Crisis,” at a special event at Maydale Conservation Park. Certain insects, fish, and amphibians are now considered at-risk in local streams due to water quality issues.
