Player Development

Providing Access

We bring pickleball to unexpected places—expanding access to movement, joy, and connection through volunteer-powered initiatives.

Washington DC Pickleball site coordinators and volunteers have created dozens of courts at sites including recreation centers, Anacostia National Park, DC high schools, and even the DC jail. We measure, tape, and paint courts, and keep courts clear of vegetation and other debris. At dual-use outdoor courts, portable nets provided by WDCP are kept on site in storage boxes, allowing community access.  

Our members lead court cleanups, equipment set-ups, and collaborations with city agencies to improve facilities. From Turkey Thicket to Palisades, we’re building a more accessible pickleball infrastructure across the District.
