Tennis and Pickleball

Recreation has been vitally important to the Poland Spring Resort’s history. From almost the beginning the Ricker’s added more and more things to do while on vacation.

In 1896, they added The Links at Poland Spring. They had tennis, skiing, a Bath House for swimming, and more.

During the Robbins ownership, in the last 53 years, we have added more… Shuffle Board, Bocce, Horseshoes and in the late 1980, we changed the paved tennis courts to grass courts.

In 2012, we add the Driving Range, Disc Golf and Mini Golf across the street.

The Big News of 2024, is we have the addition of 4 new Pickleball Courts….
