8 If you are in the mood to play a friendly game of pickleball or tennis, there are plenty of facilities to choose from. Your first option is Tattnall Square Park's tennis and pickleball center featuring well-lighted, full-sized courts. Another great choice is the John Drew Smith Tennis Center which offers 22 hard courts, eight pickleball courts, private lessons and a pro shop. Coming soon – one of the largest indoor pickleball facilities in the country is under construction at the Macon Mall (Mercer University Drive). This will be at the same site as Macon's outdoor music amphitheater, slated for completion at the end of this year. After working up a sweat, treat yourself to a sumptuous lunch!
