Pickleball Comes To Our Area
Located 3 miles north of Tilaran the Tennis Shack announces they now have 2 pickle ball courts now available. What an exciting game for those that play. For the uninitiated, pickleball is something of a mix between tennis, racquetball and ping pong. Players use special paddles and a wiffle ball, and games take place on tennis courts with specific pickleball lines. Nets and court sizes are smaller than their tennis counterparts, and the most common game is doubles, although singles is also an option. It has its own set of quirky rules — for instance, try to stay out of the “kitchen”— but they’re easy to learn. Still into tennis? The Tennis Shack has plenty of action for you and beginners and even a clinic for the younger crowd. Come join our fun loving community!
Tennis & Pickleball Shack
The Tennis & Pickleball Shack is the premiere covered tennis court + 2 pickleball courts in the Lake Arenal area.
There Is No Bank Financing For Foreigners In Costa Rica
You must be a Costa Rica resident (with a DIMEX card) or a National in order to obtain financing in Costa Rica. Occasionally we do have a seller that is willing to finance their property, however the down payment is at least 40-50% with a short term payoff of 3-5 years and an interest rate that is set by the seller.
