This study explores pickleball's potential value and insights in promoting community-based elderly care services in China. As China's population rapidly ages, community elderly care services face numerous challenges. Through literature review and case analysis, this paper delves into the characteristics of pickleball and its positive impacts on the physical and mental health of the elderly. The study finds that pickleball, due to its low intensity, high social interaction, and ease of learning, is particularly suitable for the elderly. Integrating pickleball into community elderly care services can enhance physical fitness, promote social interactions, and improve mental health among the elderly. The paper proposes strategies for promoting pickleball in communities, including facility planning, training system establishment, and event organization. Additionally, the study addresses potential challenges in promotion, such as cultural adaptation and safety, and offers corresponding solutions. This research provides new ideas for innovative community elderly care service models, significantly improving the quality of life for the elderly and promoting healthy aging.
