Pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong. This popular sport uses a hand paddle to hit a light-weight ball with holes (similar to a whiffle ball) back and forth across the net. This is drop-in play without an instructor or leader present and is designed for players with pickleball experience. Two courts are available and all play is doubles; all players take turns rotating in for games. Purchase your Pickleball passes today! Registration and pre-purchase of Pickleball Passes is required. Choose the option that works best for you. Passes may be purchased in person before 3:45 pm at the reception desk of the DPC or purchased online any time. If you purchase online by 3:00 p.m., your passes will be left in an envelope with your name on it in the gym that evening. This is for either a single pass or if you purchase a set of passes. You may also register well ahead of the day when you plan to play. All players are responsible for following posted procedures regarding sign-in, set-up and removal of equipment, and rotation of play on the courts. The first players to arrive are expected to put up the nets. Detailed instructions are available on-site.
