Towpath also offers off-site instructional programs for beginners. These are designed to provide basic skills needed to play tennis or pickleball in just a few short weeks. It’s fast-moving and upbeat with lots of fun and exercise! The classes will be taught at Fort Island/Griffiths Park. All of the staffing for all summer facilities is provided by Towpath.

Please wear tennis shoes preferably made purposely for racquet sports with non-marking soles. Please bring a racquet or paddle if you have one, but demos will be made available on a temporary basis if you do not have your own. Please keep in mind the weather and dress appropriately bringing necessary items (i.e. water, sunscreen, towel, sunglasses). If there is a threat of bad weather, please contact Towpath at 330.928.8763. Cancellation notices will be made available one hour prior to the scheduled class. All other cancellations will be made at the site. Rain make-up dates will be offered. Refunds will only be given if the instructor cancels a class and is not able to have a make-up. There will be no other refunds.
