We are always looking for volunteers that want to get involved by working with or becoming a Committee organizer or just be a volunteer for specific activities.  It takes many hands to make good things happen.  Use the "Contact Us" tab above to let us know what you are interested in.  The Pickleball Club Committee concept is a work in progress where everyone that wants to, or not, can participate at any level. 

If you are a new resident to the park and you want to know more about pickleball play, please use the "Contact Us" tab above - and a pickleball representative will contact you.

What is pickleball?  Pickleball is a blend of tennis, badminton and ping pong.  It can be played indoors or outdoors.  The game was developed in the mid-60's in Washington State and the name is derived from Pickles, the ball-chasing cocker spaniel of one of the sport's co-inventors. Grab some popcorn and watch a short pickleball video.  Get hooked like the rest of us!
