Pictona’s reputation as a bustling tournament host is set to be enhanced even further in the upcoming weeks.
Firstly, it will host an important amateur tournament, followed by a professional pickleball event. A newly established organization will also visit the Florida venue in between.
The Conviva Pictona Open
The Conviva Pictona Open runs from tomorrow, Thursday, October 19, through Sunday at the 49-court Holly Hill complex. It will witness over 600 players from across the southeast vying in six skill levels and nine age divisions.
