Pickleball in the Clouds
Pickleball has taken Cloudcroft by storm, becoming one of the village's most popular recreational activities. On any given Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday morning, you'll find three dozen players on the courts at Zenith Park, batting yellow balls back and forth in the crisp mountain air.
