NEW LIGHTS at Seattle's Bitter Lake Pickleball Courts!

Seattle Parks and Recreation has upgraded the lights at the Bitter Lake (Tennis and) Pickleball courts.

Seattle now finally has pickleball courts with decent lights for evening play north of the ship canal. These lights should be available until 10pm every evening. There are lines for 8 pickleball courts but only 4 semi-permanent nets (thanks to some generous pickleball players), so bring a portable net if you have one.

If you like the new lights, please send a thank you note to the new Parks Superintendent (ap.diaz@seattle.gov) and the Deputy Superintendent of Operations (andy.sheffer@seattle.gov).

Here is how it works. First, you have to register:

1. Go to the Playtime Scheduler web site.
2. Click the Register button.
3. Select Greater Seattle Area, WA as your region.
4. Fill in your information. including your zip code and skill level.
5. Click on the Register button.

Now, make it suit your needs:

1. Click on the My Account button.
2. Click on Email Preferences.
3. Tell the system when you are available to play pickleball and how far from home you are willing to travel.

That's it. You are now ready to join an existing session or create your own session and invite people to join. When someone creates a new session that fits your availability, your travel zone, and your skill level, you will receive an email.

If you have any question, please email infotimeforpickleball.com.
