​Greater Seattle Drop-in Pickleball Calendar

Action Alert: Seattle Parks Survey

YOU ALREADY SUBMITTED 50 PAGES WORTH OF COMMENTS TO SEATTLE PARKS' (SPR) STRATEGIC PLAN IN 2019.

That was not enough. Now SPR would like your input on their upcoming Strategic Plan Implementation.

Would you, by any chance, like to see more drop-in indoor pickleball? More drop-in outdoor pickleball? More outdoor pickleball courts in groups of 6 or 12? More outdoor pickleball nets? More pickleball classes? More pickleball for beginners? More pickleball for kids? More pickleball for seniors? More intergenerational pickleball?

It's time to let them know. Again.

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.

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.
