Hello Everyone! Can’t wait to be back outside on our new courts! I would like to announce a local pickleball tournament that raises money for “‘Pennies for Patients’ Fundraiser to end Leukemia and Lymphoma.” This is the 5th year of the tournament and is always well received and attended. All information is on the form, and if you have questions you can ask them here as I am on the organizing committee, or email our tournament director J.R. Wait [email protected]. All divisions still have openings. Thank you and hope to see you there!

Well everyone, I’ve dropped the ball big time. However I have one big update to share with you all! After just under 2 years going from initial meeting to construction, we have 8 dedicated courts opening up tomorrow! (Don’t worry, the caution tape is gone and we have real gates.) This is a public park and therefore is open sunrise to sunset, though our dedicated group generally plays 8-10. The address is 936 Sharon Valley Rd Newark, OH 43055 United States. There will be a formal dedication of the courts on September 23rd at 12pm. We hope to see you all there and we can’t wait to play!

Things are getting exciting! We are very close to our original fundraising goal and we can use every bit of help to reach and surpass our goal of $416,000! It's very easy, just scan the QR code or go to bit.ly/pickball to donate! All donations go through the Licking County Foundation. Thank you for your support. Let's make Newark the best place to play pickleball in central Ohio!

Hello everyone! What is pickleball? Besides being extremely fun and addicting, it's the fastest growing sport in the United States! Don't know much if any about it? Then join some of our members at the Canal Market District in Newark, OH on Saturday September 25th from 10am-3pm for an in person demo. Watch lives matches with commentary, see d**k contests, and even try it out for yourself! Then when you’re done, head on over to Moe’s Original Bar B Que and bring in one of the coupons to have 20% of your food bill donated to our cause! Share, spread the word, and bring a friend!

Hello. We are trying to raise money for dedicated pickleball courts in Newark, OH. We are working with the parks department to build a new city park of dedicated pickleball courts. Any donation is appreciated. Please share and spread the word so we can get this much needed park constructed for the community.
