Pickle and Picnic

Whether you're a pickle ball pro or have never picked up a paddle — everyone's welcome! Not playing? Come just to eat, drink, and socialize!

* Help us keep our new courts in great shape. Court shoes required for anyone entering the courts. 

Please remember that this is a FREE event for NFS ADULT residents only. Hope to see you there!

Pickleball Registration Instructions:
