Come Play with Us!
On any given day, dawn to dusk, and as long as its dry, you'll find us on the courts!
Douglas Park Pickleball is a group of active, community-minded, fun and inclusive people who range in age and ability, but all have a passion for giving back and playing pickleball!
As a group, it is our aim to create a warm, welcoming and inviting forum for people to not only learn and play pickleball, but to feel a sense of community.
