MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — The tennis courts at Mountain View Park in Pocono Township are a favorite spot for Dacosta Smith and his family.

"We always come out here when the weather is good. We've been playing out here for 20 years or so," said Smith.

But in recent years, a new game has taken over the court.

"People are playing pickleball now. Everywhere we go, it seems like it's picking up steam and pace," said Smith.

The lines are painted to go back and forth between the sports.
